Because of her mobility issues, Zoia did not feel safe getting all the way down to their building's basement bomb shelter, where she would likely have been packed into a crowded, confined space.

Because of her condition, making the journey on a bus or a train, with the potential for long stops in freezing weather, wasn't an option.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
