Yes, I think we'll wait until the crisis has passed and things are more back to normal. I live in Florida now and, for the most part, things have been opening back up. You still can't try on clothes in the dressing rooms but you can go bowling, eat at a restaurant, have drinks at a bar, spend the day at the beach, go to the gym and get a haircut now. I got my 6 month dental cleaning which was nice, too.

There is an uptick in cases but many of those cases appear to be in the younger age groups and most of those people are not getting very sick from it which is a blessing.

Considering how many people are out and about I think we're going to be o.k. If things were going to get bad they would already be really, really bad. I think that the fresh air, sunshine and Florida citrus are helping to keep us healthier than other parts of the country. TV will bounce back from this - I am sure of it.
