Right. So Bryce, we're not going into, obviously, detail on any or each of these. Just there are 1 or 2 that we were, I'll say, far enough along prior to where literally, virtually all the due diligence had been done, QV, management meetings, et cetera. Obviously, we then put that on hold. And the challenge, well, for those companies, it's easier to the extent that what we really have to do now is, to the extent we continue to move forward, there will be adjustments to some degree, on the valuations, maybe even the structure of the investment to really take into account what we're looking forward to for, let's say, this fiscal year and, frankly, almost not this year because we're already halfway through it, as much as next year, 2021. And so the challenge on ones we're with - we're pretty far down the road, it's really sort of updating, taking a really hard and critical look at how and what their effect has been so far and then how we project out. So that's more - those can be done, in great part, somewhat obviously, as I mentioned, either by Zoom type meetings, which we are all getting used to now, or obviously, lots of conference calls as there's not much face-to-face or travel.In terms of net new deals, let's call it, which we are continuing - staying in touch with investment bankers, all the folks that we generate business from, all of our guys are still working hard on that area. As we look at a new deal in that regard, what we're trying to do is, first and foremost, really understand as best as we can what the impact, obviously, of COVID is, how can you really judge when that one particular company is going to start really coming back online and really thinking through structurally how to, again, do such a transaction. So with those that are I'll call the net new meeting.We didn't know about them until perhaps a month ago or something like that, is really doing enough work, including all the sort of market-related stuff we can do off-line, understanding the business as best we can without obviously meeting people but having conversations so that as we continue over the next couple of months, and we start having the ability to physically get out there and so on, we'll be in a position to move forward. So it's really more of a desk evaluation, I guess, is a good way to say it, of diligence and a big part of which we can do. So we're trying to just maintain our overall diligence efforts. And again, the biggest issue might be how do you properly try to evaluate what the next 2 years might look like if you indeed do make the investment. I hope that helps.
