Opposing forces. On one side of the big game board of life: COVID-19, ever spreading with new surges and variants.

Turn the page, and there’s an ad offering “a warm winter welcome” at the Breakers resort in Palm Beach, asking us to “take comfort in knowing that the highest standards of comprehensive health and safety precautions are in place to protect our team, guests and community.” Which message is more enticing, or less scary?
