COVID-19 Info
I have been reading a lot on COVID-19, since I live in a hot zone in America and I personally know people that are at risk to it. I thought it would be best to share information with you all, since the world is rapidly becoming a hot zone of COVID-19. I don't really have a big platform, but I think it's important no matter big/small platform that we share info. (sorry most of the info will be USA based).
Also I understand that you have constantly been bombarded by the news about COVID-19, the last thing you would want is for your escape to also be about COVID-19. I'm really sorry about that. I'm posting this so that you can bypass the news that have a spin to it, to give you guys the sources so that you don't need to watch the news to be informed. If this isn't your first time hearing about it, go to the [info] section to skip my ramblings).
As we have\are witnessing the death trails that COVID-19 is causing in Italy, China, Spain, France, and USA, it's time for us to do what we can. First thing that we need to do is get informed, and Second thing is put that information to use.
The most important thing right now we can do is:
Social Distancing, avoiding public spaces. Even if you're not currently in a hotspot. Viruses can't spread without Humans (vector). It may not kill as many young people as it kills older people, but it is the young people that spread the virus. It is still harmful to young people so don't take it lightly.
Wash hands by soap (20 seconds) or use hand sanitizer (let it dry on skin, it takes longer to kill viruses).
Avoid touching your face.
Cover coughs\sneezes either by elbow, tissue or into inside of shirt. Don't forget to wash hands after and throw away any tissue or napkin that you've used.
Clean commonly touched surfaces before use.
I know it might be fun to go out drink and party but we owe it to our loved ones and for the brave men and women that put their health on the line for us. If you see someone not following the guidelines educate them.
Some might say "it's not that bad", correction "It's not that bad yet." The virus is around two weeks ahead of us. What we are observing now is what happened approx. two weeks ago. This my friends is due to a lag in symptoms and exponential growth. Which is why we must do as much as we can to slow it down.

To get information on your county search on google "[your county name] health department". There should be a COVID-19 information on the front page of their website. Same thing for the states "[state name] health department".

FIX DOCTOR STRANGE
Could you tell me if there are any errors that appear in scripthookdotnet.log, when you start the game, toggle the mod, etc.? The mod still works for me, so I need to know what errors you're experiencing.
please public release the aqauaman mod
It's nice to see people actually caring about this kind of stuff. People need to take this seriously. People need to stay informed. Thanks again. On a separate note, I'm trying to make a mod and could use some help. Long story short, my favorite book when I was a kid was animorphs. I'm trying to make it into a mod but it's a bit beyond my scope. Basically, I want to create a "power wheel" that has icons for animals. When you select an animal you change the player model. I can easily change models, but creating the wheel to do it is an issue. Could you provide me with some sort of source code of yours to do this? Obviously without anything that would allow me to remake one of your mods. Like I said, basically a power wheel that changes character model. I'm going to use it for animals for now. But I may make one for iron man armors too. I have some of JULIONIB's code that he shared to his pastebin in 2018, but I'm not really sure how to use it. Thanks either way. I know you have a ton going on and helping someone who basically knows nothing should be low on your priority list. Thanks again!
No problem. I thought it would be helpful for people instead of watching the news since sometimes they either sugar coat it or add intense music for dramatic affect. By going to the source you just get the facts.
Howdy guys/NModds! \(^ ^) Thank you for caring and sharing this important news & info. about the COVID-19 situation that we're going through. Like you said on your post, it's very important that we all get/stay informed on this situation, and keep on top of any updates that can help us control its spread! Please be careful out there where you live at, specially since you're saying that's one of the hotzones where the virus spreading! Take your time to work on your mods, (only if you have the time and if you feel that you can), and don't feel rushed. This is just a hobby for entertainment. Stay safe and be vigilant out there! Many Blessings from our God! Sincerely, Ruben A. (^ ^)
Hey Ruben, stay safe out there as well. I think I've learned as much as I could about COVID-19, for my own sanity as well I'm coding again. Searching up research papers about this topic is not that enjoyable lol. I may live in hotzone, but as it spreads, we all can be in a hotspot. If you currently don't live in a hotspot, still please be careful. It's a very sneaky virus. Stay safe out there as well and God bless you as well.
thanks for sharing but please do mods your will save alot of our sanity
I understand, we do need some sort of escape from this insane world we live in.
ITS ON THE NEWS NOW EVERY1 IS IN SELF ISOLATION MAYB U CAN ACTUALLY START MAKING SOME MODS AGAIN 😑 WE NEED YOUR MODS TO PASS TIME AND KEEP SANE NOT THE NEWS 😒 MAKE MODS STOP POSTING NEWS THANKS
mark, Don't worry, I've started coding again. I'm also tired about hearing about COVID-19 on news and I understand your frustration. Like I wrote in the post, I live in a hot spot and know people that are at risk to it, because of that I did what I can only do read up on it. I decided to share the information because the news might present the information through a filter and they don't give you resources.
