Update from WA state, coronavirus and Twitter stuff.
5 years ago
I'M ON THE ROOF POOPIN IN THE CHIMNEY
First off, thank you for the new watches! I probably have missed several thank yous as I've been bad with it lately, just wanted to give a general thank you to those who've watched, it means a lot! <3
Secondly, I'm trying to keep my Twitter updated more! Please, feel free to follow me over there as well! <3

While I've been working on new art, I have been pretty busy lately, but I'm hoping things are going to start calming down over the next year, but we will see.
Also, I might as well say, I live in WA state, about 15 minutes away from the first coronavirus patient in the US, and 15 minutes away in the other direction to where all the recent deaths from the coronavirus (in Kirkland, WA) have been. It's been rather surreal seeing places I go to and have been to a decent amount plastered all over the news lately. Obviously, things have been a little hectic, a lot of stuff is selling out and all that fun stuff. It's not too crazy at the moment, but there are a ton of people just now testing positive for it, and it's obvious that it's spreading quite a bit in my area, not to mention all the people who're infected and haven't been found yet.
I'm not super worried, but it is a bit just.. surreal, and it is definitely kind of scary. I also have a panic disorder which makes things a bit worse, lol. While I'm mostly optimistic, I have no idea how this is going to affect the future and so on.
But to those who're in and near these areas like myself. Wash your hands and use soap. Be alert and don't panic. Don't worry about looking goofy wearing a face mask in public. Keep up to date with the CDC's announcements, and follow their advice!
Overall, be careful and be safe. <3

However you shouldn't be scared of the virus, its just a bit worse than the flu. One of the problems with the virus map in the USA is that the USA is lying to its people to keep the outbreak hidden.
The test costs $1500 and no insurance will cover it. No one tested, no one infected. The USA is thus unaffected because only the rich people can get tested. The rest must just have the flu because they can't afford to get tested.
I myself have the symptoms of this thing, but its mild. Whatever I have is taking a long time, longer than the flu and longer than the cold ever has, but its super mild. I don't think anyone out here has been officially diagnosed, however, so its possible I do just have a different strain of flu, or its possible that a large portion of the USA already has the virus and no one knows because no one's being tested.
If you go looking for them, that boat has already sailed a month ago and all of the N95 and N100 rated masks are sold out. If you do happen to find one for sale, you are going to be raped on the cost.
Reason for the shortage is not just the early birds buying them out, but 99 percent of them are made in China. So all supplies and new mfg'd ones are now staying in China for their use, so it is not just a short term rush that will be restocked soon. In fact, at best, at least a year.
I suspect that some US Mfg. will ramp up soon if not already so to fill the void, but it will be a lot more expensive for the short term.
You'd think that they'll make them here in the US but yeah, considering this is going to end up most likely covering the entire country, things will definitely be expensive and hard to get. ;/ Going to be a fun year, ugh..
