<div>Hi Juan, thanks for sharing your thoughts.</div>

<div>I'm glad to know that you and your family are fine. I'm
also fortunate that my family and friends are all fine, so
far. But what's happening is horrible, and it's affecting
all of us deeply. I was in China when this started and I
lived some very strange times there for a while, then
decided to get away to Thailand while it was still
possible, and now it's getting crazy here and I'll try to
go back to China. I left with only my laptop and a
sampler, and a friend (Chen, you met him) came with me
with an acoustic guitar. It was nice to have Cuis with me
too, I've been coding some.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Take care and try to stay positive. Even though there
are sparks of xenophobia and nationalism, and in panic we
can be selfish and stupid, I think during this crisis
we're learning to love and care for each other.<br>

<br>
Coronavirus is hitting hard in many places. And places not
hit hard yet <br>
are getting ready for it. This has been affecting daily life
for <br>
everyone. Let's keep in mind that the top priorities are to
take care of <br>
ourselves and others, following orders and advice from local
authorities <br>
and the WHO. Many people are facing extreme hardships,
including health <br>
care and emergency workers, people who got ill and their
loved ones. <br>
Let's hope it turns out to the best for them, and let's help
them when <br>
possible.<br>
<br>
For the rest of us, for the majority of the world, we just
need to be <br>
very careful.<br>
<br>
Many people are not able to work at their job or attend to
school. Some <br>
of us are lucky enough to be able to keep working from our
homes, almost <br>
as usual. In any case, for a lot of us (I know, we are the
most lucky <br>
ones), the biggest challenge is to fight our own fear,
anguish and <br>
boredom. Let's spend good time with family and friends,
talking, playing <br>
games, whatever we can do without leaving our homes. Let's
try to get <br>
some exercise. This is great not only for the body, but also
for the <br>
mind. My wife Lucía and my daughters Sofía and Diana have
been dancing <br>
to some youtube videos. I must join them next time! Some TV
is OK, but <br>
too much of it is not. Get enough rest. Take some time to be
calm and <br>
quiet. Meditate. Spend time learning and practicing stuff
you love. <br>
Maybe we can make the most of this time by focusing on
programming projects.<br>
<br>
So, use Cuis. Play with Cuis. Learn with Cuis. Learn about
Cuis. Feel <br>
free to share your thoughts and feelings here. We are a
community. Many <br>
of us have never meet in person, but we still share a lot.
We are a <br>
bunch of friends, even if it might be a little different
kind of friendship.<br>
<br>
Let me tell how all this is going for me.<br>
<br>
In Argentina, we are in a preventive quarantine. We still
don't have <br>
many cases, but we (Argentina) want to flatten the
exponential growth <br>
from the start. My kids are at home, as schools are closed.
The school <br>
gave them a lot of stuff to "research", so this is becoming
a kind of <br>
home schooling! Lucía and I are spending time helping them
with that. <br>
Fortunately, we and our larger families are all healthy. We
keep in <br>
touch. We are both also doing home office for work. So we
are quite <br>
busy! Our home has a nice backyard and the weather is nice,
so we are <br>
able to spend time outside.<br>
<br>
I spend some time doing Cuis. I know I'm being quite slow in
answering <br>
email and several of you are waiting an answer on some
particular topic. <br>
I apologize for this, and I promise I'll eventually get to
each one of <br>
them. I have also been working a few hours over several
weeks on <br>
VectorGraphics and TrueType. I have some updates to push,
hopefully <br>
today, and will tell in another email.<br>
<br>
Thank you all for being around, helping Cuis grow, recoding
videos and <br>
spreading the word, or simply sharing this space. Everybody,
please feel <br>
free to share your feelings and thoughts.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
