About the Coronavirus Crisis
🕑 Added 2020-03-18 04:44:38 +0000 UTCHey everyone, I hope everybody is doing ok.
Some people are having things worse than others. I have noticed that a lot of people have been removing their support because their financial situation has changed. And it's ok. Specially people living in America who could need to pay up to a thousand dollars to have a test for the virus. Then there are the stupid people hoarding stores and causing prices everywhere to raise, and when the vaccines comes out, they are probably not going to be free for most people. It's said that this virus is going to bankrupt far more people than it's going to kill.
The value of my country's money plummeted due the crisis. So for now as long as I can have 350 dollars a month I can keep my bills paid and food on the table at least for now (don't know when this will start to affect gas prices and inflation, but everything here is normal for now). More money than that goes to be stored on my emergency funds. I'm doing well, and if you need to remove your support to attend to your needs, seriously don't worry, I will be fine. By the time I am writting this post, the pledges are at 402 USD, and I can comfortably let it drop to 350 USD.
I won't be leaving my home for anything that isn't going to buy groceries, and I will use this extra time to speed up my projects.
Thank you all for your support.
Stay safe.

Keep up the good work, Mark!!!
I would never. Well, there could be a temporary hickup as the owner of the bank I use for international payments is under US sanctions list and is currently under trial by US authorities for tax evasion... I, personally, am strongly suspicious of the whole debacle, this coronavirus looks like an inflated paper tiger. People are going crazy, the shops here in Moscow are already devoid of grain, most sorts of meat and, of course, face masks. Face masks are sold out, period. Quite hilarious, in my opinion.
