I'm doomed, 75+ relative under my guidance will not give up everything, although by 4/1, expecting no choice in the matter with almost nothing open for business except essentials.

Between old folks ready to go home and young carefree carriers being stooges, yeah feeling kinda fucked, and I am not in a easy under %1 fatality chance category myself.

Good Luck!
