i would like to take a moment to sincerely wish EVERYONE... wherever you are in the world.... that you and yours will be safe, and stay safe.
Things here in NS Canada are stepping up... been three presumptive positive cases here as of today.
i can only imagine what it must be like in places like Asia, Italy...
This is a REAL thing... and it can get real serious fast.
i made a mask to wear when having to go out in public today and plan on wearing gloves.
They will be closing down schools soon, day cares, nursing homes to visitors... march break camps are cancelled...
My best wishes are for you... please do all you can to take care of yourself... and those you love. We are lucky that this virus can be avoided if proper steps are taken.
Please.. take care.
xo
on a lighter note... at least playing WoW counts as helping to keep others safe, eh?

To add since I am in Korea. Wear of a Mask which is advised not to unless you think you may have the virus. Big reason is majority of people do not know how to wear the mask properly putting it on and taking it off. Biggest thing is if you do wear the mask take it off by the straps that hold it in place behind the ears, and put it on the same way. To many touch the mask itself which gets the virus on your hands then not thinking people touch their eyes etc. Is this virus serious that is debatable it has a higher mortality rate than the 1920 flu. That percentage goes up when you break it down into age groups. the mortality rate for those over 60 is like 30 some odd percent. So yes protect yourself but the big thing is to protect others more so than yourself.
AND PLEASE STOP BUYING TOILET PAPER FFS.

We are under self quarintine rules because Florida has blown up like a balloon. Mom and Dad (both 70+) stay on property and I go into town when it's needed. When I get home, I go straight to house 4, shed my clothing, put it in the wash, shower, put on new clothing, THEN I can enter Mom and Dad's house.
Also, if you purchase none perishable foods or products, leave them outside or in an isolated room for 9 hours so the virus can die. (We do it for 24 hours on the porch)
I know this seems extreme (and to a degree it is,) but my mom and dad both click the three magic checkmarks.
Over 65 Compromised Immune System (mom has FM) Diabetes
I'd rather be inconvinianced for a few weeks than to be saying goodbye to my parents because their dead.

Tell you're brother that you love him, and that I'm sure he will understand if you self isolate away from him for the next two weeks.
Take care of yourself love, and remember what I said if you need anything.
