‘It was easy to use, you just reached out and pushed it, then you could go hide’

‘The real thing was getting the positive response with BDOC coming back on

and saying LOCKDOWN…

That was good because it made you realize you weren’t crazy and that you

really should be hidden.’

“It has that automated [message]. That way I can just press that button and it’s going to automate for me while I’m still

doing other work.

“Everyone, when they barricade themselves, is going to try to be quiet…
