True. I’m in a fortunate position, too, although this will cost me financially as well (making hard choices now to ensure the cost won’t be ruinous).

In our area, someone just started a Facebook community (is that the right term? I don’t Facebook and really have no idea how it works, but my wife keeps up with it) to help people get help with problems caused by covid or quarantine. This is possiblya good idea since the gov’t is leaving us to the wolves.

The problem is that Zuckerberg is one of the wolves: the kind who runs a social network filled to the brim with disinformation and unfounded rumours and convinces people it’s a responsible community group.
