Good Morning All
Happy (or the best possible) Friday
To our folks in harm's way, get out if still possible, otherwise make the smartest smart choice.
Remember that 99% of material things on this planet are replaceable and a bunch of the 1% remainder you can carry with you.
Certainly not worth risking harm over but people's safety is.
Good luck.
