It's hard to remember now, but in April, this March, April of last year, suddenly it became clear that COVID was a big deal, and things happened very quickly.
China shut its borders after Chinese New Year.
The factories didn't come back.
There was nothing shipping out of China, and China was half of our business.
And then the airlines worldwide got grounded, so there was virtually no air cargo.
All of that happened very quickly.
It was a scary time.
We actually went through the sad process of downsizing our team a bit because we didn't know what was going to happen.
We went down at the time from about roughly 240 to 200.
Okay.
So it wasn't a huge proportion of the team, but it's always very sad when you have to do that.
We lost some good people, but we've actually...
now bigger than 240.
