“Whoever can enjoy the holidays must do that, who is in good health or psychologically well. The holiday wants pockets full, but we have them empty. Work today has gone near 0. People have no money. The virus is on our feet. I’m going out to celebrate, to release some of the stress from the pandemic.”
