How is your wife now? Sorry if that’s too personal.

She's doing better now, thanks for asking! She's still got a bit of a cough, but will almost surely make a 100% recovery.

Great to hear.

For those living in cities that are locked down, what do yall do about daycare? In NYC, my daycare isn't reimbursing fees, so we're continuing to be charged with a promise of "if insurance pays out, we'll pass it down." With 2 kids, that’s $5,000. Assuming they’re closed for 3 months total, that’s $15,000 down the drain. Now, I get that they're a small business, but their problem is that they can't exactly layoff the…
