I talked with a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way.

"Oh no, nothing like that," he said. "No, no...
"I was unexpectedly paroled".

A bit like booking a cruise, pay for 1 week and get an additional 2 weeks or more thrown in. The new deal has the code word COVID19 and completely unexpected by all those who booked for the cruise
