Obviously, I'm soaware of what an anxious time this is for so many of you. I've been having tonsof messages and questions coming through about how to deal with the uncertaintyabout coronavirus and all the things that we have to deal with from redundancyis to not be able to leave the house to lack of social interaction to fearabout our health and the health of our loved ones. There are so many things toconsider right now. And so, what I normally do is recordpodcasts quite a few weeks in advance and I've decided to push back the ones Ihad scheduled and actually have in place some podcasts that are dealing withthe issues that we're struggling with today. So, obviously, I know what an anxioustime they says and I'm going to be planning some online workshops to help youto feel more resilient and feel more positive in what is, for many people, areally challenging time.
