Thank you for your support @bengy!

First of all, in regards to the coronavirus, I was thinking the other day about how this is a musician's worst nightmare (in terms of gigs. Not in terms of practice). The Pennsylvania All State conference has been cancelled meaning that all of those kids (many of whom are prospective musicians) are missing a huge opportunity to perform, build experience, and build a portfolio for college. In addition, my quartet (Arthur) was supposed to be performed at the conference, so I am a little sad. In addition, all of the Philadelphia Orchestra's concerts have been cancelled. We had tickets to see all 9 of the Beethoven symphonies (a likely once in a lifetime opportunity), and the virus happened to come the week that the first concert would have happened. I can only imagine what it must be like for musicians living paycheck to paycheck to all of a sudden have that stream of income ripped away. I am glad that you are prepared, and I hope that things in the Netherlands turn around.

In regards to the Hive/Steem news, I really was quite shocked to learn we were on the blacklist, and very frustrated. I wrote that whole post, and now I am going to focus on accumulating Steem since Hive has burned the bridge before I could even cross it. I am sad because so many good people are on the Hive chain, and I feel like the community which I have actively (more or less) participated in for years has left me in the dust for dead. All I can do is work with what I have. Thank you so much for speaking up for us! I hope to still see you on Steem!

In the end, I hope everything works out (and that this bloody virus ceases to exist)!
