Hi Lew,

It must be hard to run a prison camp without snitches. The Warden of Camp Los Angeles has now decreed that “snitches get rewards.”

The Ordinary Totalitarian Virus (TOVID-20) is more contagious than that other royal one. It can spread without physical contact since it is passed simply by believing in bad ideas. Lew, please keep working on the cure!
