Yesterday evening we all sort of learned our fate or, at least, garnered an idea of what the next month is going to look like for us in terms of where we can or can’t go and what we should or shouldn’t do. It is all pretty provocative, and people are divided as to what they think should be allowed or, more so, what should not be allowed.

There is no right answer and when you don’t have skin in the game it is always easier to take the moral high ground and be authoritative on what should be happening.
