As you know, the Coronavirus outbreak is just about to hit Europe full force. Italy already went to hell and the healthcare system practically collapsed, Germany went from 1567 confirmed cases to 2369 overnight, and it's only a matter of time, probably days until it hits my country Hungary too.

       Hungary declared state of emergency a few days ago. We already have 16 confirmed cases, growing every day, and there have been several incidents of total incompetence, such as an infected person being treated by several doctors with no protective gear, who are still working and have not even been tested, or our Prime Minister specifically refusing to close down schools.

       And this whole situation impacts me pretty badly in two ways:

       1; In past months, my mother was helping me out financially because due to my mental health my productivity, and thus commission income was minimal. But she works in a theater, and theaters have been closed by government order, and will remain closed for a long time, during which time my mother's salary drops to less than a third of what she normally earns so she won't be able to help me should I need it again.

       2; Hungary has a famously bad healthcare system and we already don't have enough sanitizer and other supplies, when the outbreak didn't even really hit yet. So my prediction is that our healthcare system will collapse too. Maybe (hopefully) not as badly as Italy, but bad enough to create chaos. I hope I'm wrong.

       Then there is the fact that even if my productivity will do fine, I have no idea how the situation will affect commission sales.

       For the moment, I'm safe and fine.

       But things could get ugly here real quick, and there is a chance that I'll be forced to ask for your help in the coming weeks/months. I really hope I won't need to do that, but if it comes to that, you will know why it's happening.


       Stay safe and stay healthy!
