Extra long dedicationThis book is dedicated to everyone who has sacrificed their freedom
and those who have lost their jobs, businesses, or loved ones during
the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. Al we have to decide is that to do with the time that is given to us."
- J.R.R. Tolkien
