Coronavirus update – Day 257

Its been almost 3/4 of a year since I have gone WFH (Work from home) in isolation  When I last posted about the numbers, we had just passed 7 million infected. That was 170 days ago. Now we are at just over 60 million.  But this post is not as much about Covid-19 as much as it is about the amount of disinformation.  In the past week I have been messages posts on Social Media that are so drenched in disinformation I feel like I need to disinfect my PC.

For this post, I will discuss 3 such posts that had me facepalming at the stupidity (or cleverness?)…

Soon to be Streaming on Twitch

As of August 2nd of this year, I will be officially streaming on Twitch. Thanks to a close friend of mine, Danielle Allard (website, twitch) who has given me the confidence to get this up and running. I have been running Revelnoded Gaming for a few years, but only posting the odd video to Youtube. Now I have expanded to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I even opened up a Discord Server.

On my premier stream this Sunday, I will be streaming Marbles on Stream which is a stream community game allowing twitch viewers to join in and partake in the races.…

The Outbreak – UPDATE – Day 87

It has been a while since I did an update on the COVID-19 situation.  The reasoning is being in isolation can be, well, depressing at the very least. Being cooped up for months at a time with little to no human contact can drive even the sturdiest person up the wall.  And I am not the most sturdiest person.

So where are we at?  I will tell you this… not in a great place. We are 7,149,360 cases world wide, with the United States accounting for for over two million of that.

“But Matt!, the numbers are dropping! Why are we in a bad place?”…

The Outbreak – Day 27 of Work from Home, day 40 of Isolation

A little over 2 weeks ago we broke the 1 million total case marker, now we are just over the 2.5 million mark.  Things have escalated quickly, with the United States accounting for 1/3 of the known cases world wide.  A scary thought.  But the word on the street is, it’s slowing down. Although some of us are still in areas that have just reached their peak, or getting close to it, as a whole, its starting to slow down.  But do not get your hopes up that we will be sitting poolside sipping margaritas just yet, although some governments are looking at lifting some of the bans put in place as early as next month, the World Health Organization is warning against moving too quickly.…

Outbreak – Day 16 of Work from Home, Day 24 of Isolation

Has the isolation taken it’s toll on you yet?  If so, you are not alone.  And it’s not going to be over any time soon.  In Quebec, they have pushed the closures till at least May 4th, however this will more than likely be extended once again as we get closer to that date.

There is good news though… according to an article posted by the Financial Post entitled “Google publishes tracking data showing 59 per cent drop in normal movement patterns“:

Within Canada, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec have seen the biggest reductions in traffic to workplaces, all slightly ahead of the national average.
