I think we should make every effort to make things as normal for kids as we can. Door to door is probably a really bad idea right now but there must be something we can do for them that safe.

Trick or treating kinda sucks here. All the units buy candy and security hands it out at concierge desk, the kids can't come to our door which sucks. I go to my parents on halloween to hand out candy.
