Keeping people aware of what's going on... (Patreon)

Alright. So this is a bit of a mess right now. As many are aware, there is a virus going around that is nasty. I live in Washington state and the missus works near where things are going down in the medical fields. (I'm not giving many details about her here but it is seriously stressing how close she is working around the people currently infected and being treated.)
We are in a voluntary (her employers advise, strongly worded to comply) quarantine. I am on a high risk of infection watch as I have a compromised immune system from not working in public and mostly from having a heart attack a few years ago.
Every hour we are checking temperatures which is destroying our sleep. I had a spike in temp last night that set some alarms off but have leveled back down to normal again by morning. I am exhausted, stressed and fighting to maintain calm sanity. Normally I stay home all the time anyways, drawing and painting to earn some form of bill paying living. But now that I am being asked not to leave, I want to go out and do so much. :P Heh.
Emerald City Comic Con was to be my vacation from a year of stress and losses but I am canceling my couple days I was going to nerd out. I will have to attend next year.
THIS IS NOT MEANT TO ALARM ANYONE.
Rather it is intended to keep people informed. Being as close to what is happening, I've some understanding how serious it is. Everyone should keep safe. Follow the CDC washing protocols and wash your hands up to your elbows if you are rightfully suppressing coughs or sneezes with your arm. Work from home if you have that option, if not, and I know many just can not, work from home. Be safe out there my awesome online family. I hope everyone remains healthy and unaffected on a personal scale. When my sleep deprived brain can I will be doing little but working on arts at least. Cheers all you amazing people.
