    SpinupWP makes self-hosting WordPress sites really simple. Rarely do you ever need to actually make any changes to your server. You can just give it a Digital Ocean box to connect …

    That assumes that the vaccine is 100% effective, and that everyone who is at risk can safely take the vaccine. Neither of those are true.
