@krnel, Not to sound sarcastic, but I hope that your "new Normal" goes away soon. a little bit South of you I am afraid that the "new normal" is just a feature the wealthiest can yet again strip away our rights.
For instance, our Prez has recently announce that his daughter and son-in-law will "re-open the U.S. economy". First, that is illegal, but not enough people here will stand against it. I think your Southern neighbor is doomed!
Keep up the good fight, be careful! Mitch
