Pseudo Quarantine

[Ross Scott]

The region I'm living in has declared a pseudo-quarantine and are discouraging people from going out more than necessary.  This actually won't affect the videos too much, but may delay my move.  I'm also going to suspend FM2 Episode 14, since I should probably cut back on constant shouting since a lot of people will be at home in the apartments around me now.  Episode 13 is still due out ASAP and I'll be working on the upcoming side video / Game Dungeon / movie instead.

There cannot be any content if you are not healthy. Good content is good, no matter when it's released. Stay healthy !

TFW I pretty much didn't go out of my house anyway, even before this whole pandemic started. Being a perpetual recluse comes in handy.

Stay safe buddy! And don't forget to maintain a proper social distance from the Mold!

Colorado just issued a state of emergency yesterday, and a stay at home order. It was kinda creepy, the gov. sent an active alert to my smartphone. Sorta like an amber/silver kind of alert, with the loud mayday sound, it was a bit harrowing and notable first in my lifetime.

These are strange and "interesting" times indeed...

Yup. Everything is officially shut down here. I actually got last night's alert while waiting for Pizza to arrive.

Well hey, at least there is pizza! XD - That sounds good right now actually.

Stay safe, friends! Whatever ways we can help ourselves and others to stay calm. We may be in for a ride.

[Hi, I'm Michael]

As a point of interest medicine-wise, there's a neat analysis here: https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/registered-trials-and-analysis/ that shows a list of registered clinical trials associated with the SAR-CoV-2 virus (Up to March 8th). There were 382 at time of the article being published, but they're still running, so if you're bored, stuck inside, and wanting to know more about the treatment of COVID-19, it's an interesting read.

 

When I say interesting read, that's both the meta-analysis on the page, as well as digging in to the studies themselves. For instance, there's a trial which just got through ethics, that trials anti-retros alongside antihistamines that was of particular interest to me. For me, it was because I get a little hayfever, and I was concerned about immunosuppressant medication to treat respiratory symptoms, in the context of a viral infection that causes lung inflammation, and potentially fatal pneumonia. In any case, it's an interesting read for any scientifically-minded humans that deal with anxiety by learning about the thing that's causing them distress!

Can't help but wonder, when Ross will poist his official "freakout" video regarding the world events. :S

 

Non-linear derivative in new case-totals and the inevitable overflow of any and all local medical services will eventually convince everyone that this thing will in time wipe out more people than the whole World War 2, holocaust included.

 

Unfortunate reality, which will become apparent to all observers, once the peak hits their local services.

That's not hard to do... We get that many from heart disease every few years in the USA...
