This pandemic is extreme.

I wanted to say sth about China: I have a single client, an agency, from China, and they are willing to pay my rate, but their procedures are so time consuming so I rarely accept jobs from them. I have to say that my best clients near and far are Russians. Worst are clients from the US. Have stopped completely working for any of them.
Wishing all of us good and abundant work for the future!!
