We are breaking so many Covid-19 laws, ordinances and regulations tomorrow. Somewhere, in an undisclosed, semi-rural area southwest of the Twin Cities - or is that northeast?

A decontamination station will be at the home entrance, with hot soap and water, disinfectant, sanitizer, Clorox wipes (yes, someone actually scored some of those!), thermal temperature scans for the kiddies, three big kick-ass RAM extended-cabs will be blocking off the private driveway and me and two of my nephews will be guarding the gate with our AR-15s and other various firearms, including revolvers that we're likely to frequently twirl on our index fingers like cowboys.
Cousin Cletus is our designated sniper. He's also responsible for supplying the Tupperware of Spleef and in his possession at all times, he holds the

What are your plans for Easter? Family gathering? Small or reduced number of guests from past years? Isolation? Going on a cruise, maybe?
Will you be
Breaking The Law?
All parties mutually agreed in canceling the running-chainsaw and cleaver-juggling contests, but that's more due to the weather forecast than fear of Coronavirus.
