Operative words

"The health and safety of our members, your families, and the nation's communities is paramount. We believe it would be neither feasible nor wise to ask or expect our members to travel this year, especially in light of the recent surge in cases throughout the sunbelt and now in many midwestern states" (NASDPTS, as quoted by School Bus Fleet, Ex. SEC-21-GM-009)
