Small update
Hi guys, just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going into day 7 of symptoms from what I assume is coronavirus.
I have asthma so I'm being cautious and went to the hospital yesterday for breathing distress but my oxygen levels were only a little low when I arrived and back to normal after treatment. I haven't traveled internationally so I wasn't eligible for a test but I've got medication for my symptoms and am hoping to see an improvement, and hoping to still be on track to put out this month's ramble video in the coming week.
It's driving me crazy to not put out more content during the lockdown with everyone a very captive audience to hear about obscure theme park content! But while resting I've at least been consuming content for another video my list of ideas. Hopefully April will be a much more productive month.
I've also received a few messages from people who had to cancel their pledges due to layoffs or reduced hours and encourage anyone to do so if under any financial strain right now! The content will be here when you get back. Stay healthy everyone!

Hope you’re doing better! Had you in my thoughts today while watching the frozen review
Feel better! We have a Positive Covid in the house and it’s a lot of worrying and temperature taking. Get well soon!
How is your covid doing?
Oh no!! Get well!
Wishing you the best Jenny!
All of us are thinking about you, and we hope you're feeling a bit better <3 Love you!!!
We are thinking of you
Sending thoughts and prayers your way! I hope and believe you will get well soon. <3
Oh no! Take care of yourself, rest, and recover. Don't feel any obligation or pressure to push yourself while you're sick. We love you and we want you to be well. <3
wishing you well Obscure Disney Queen <3
You are going to keep us updated, right? Because now we'll just worry. 😐
❤️❤️I hope you feel better soon!! Warm wishes and lots of porgs!!
I hope you feel better. I left a care package for you. I won't be keeping this up every month, but hopefully it will mitigate some of the losses and medical expenses. Consider it a bonus for a job well done.
IIUC making your vids should be fun rather than a slot / painful experience. I'd happily have nothing until you truly feel willing+able than have you return prematurely and be watching a vid where you clearly just want to go to bed.
Take all the time you need <3 There will be a captive audience waiting for you!
I'm not a praying man, but I'd light a candle for Jenny Nicholson.
Oh no, but all the best to you! Please don't feel pressured to maintain an upload schedule. This would be a crazy situation under the best of circumstances and you are sick on top of that.
While I agree that there's no urgent need to make any videos for us Patreons, Jenny might well want to produce at least ONE video and upload it ASAP.... ...because then she could TOTALLY SCOOP the rest of YouTube, by being the FIRST Major Creator to give America a thoughtful report on how it feels to have the Coronavirus -- which is what is on EVERYONE's mind right now! Even if it's just "Top 4...Things I...Didn't....owwwwwww....Know About Having Coronavisus..." Even if it ends up mostly being Jenny slumped under a quilt, trying to make sense of her notes, this would BLOW UP! With total fame and total fortune, AND she could flex on all other YouTubers forever, because she will always be the first Coronavlogger. Of course, Jenny should wait to do this if she feels WAY too sick... ...but if she's only Pretty Darn Sick...this is a once-in-a-century opportunity, and she should definitely consider taking a risk for a big break, like in a heist movie.
Feel better soon! Looks like we're going to be housebound for quite some time, so you'll still have that captive audience when you return.
I’m terribly sorry, ms.Nicholson. Not sure if you’re religious as at but I’ll keep U in my thought and prayers, for what it’s worth.
"I'm not trapped in here with the coronavirus." "You are trapped in here with my Theme park Trivia."
Take it easy mate. There is no rush for obscure theme park content right now as all the obscure theme parks are closed. All the best for your recovery but if you do die can I get that big porg?
Know you meant it in good spirits but a tweet did go out asking people not to joke about death because of a delicate emotional/mental health situation so perhaps... don't?
If you were a newscaster or a TV show producer the idea of working right now would be unimaginable- even Disney have put a hold on their shows and movies. You are 100% doing the right thing by putting your health first. Get well soon Jenny!
Sorry you're not feeling well Jenny. Hope you feel better soon!
Please don’t even think about putting out content right now. Just concentrate on feeling better. I know we don’t know each other, but I’ve been keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for a very speedy recovery.
All these years seemingly without taking a break from making content and now that it's finally happening, this sounds like the worst kind of vacation after a trip to Disneyland with a grumpy spouse and an emo teenager who doesn't want to be there. (yea just the first thing that popped in my head). You take good care of yourself now. I'm positive you'll be better in no time, and while I'm here I might as well request proof of remission once you get there. How about a song? We haven't had one of those in a long time. That should do it. That would definitely proove that your lungs are back at full power. It would make everyone here happy, even if it's a sad song.
Get well soon! On the bright side, hopefully this means only good things for your Palpatine impression. The last time I was sick, the rasp really helped as I wandered around the house, hands Palpatinely out in front of me, telling people about my throne-like chair and evil plans
Somehow, Palpatine references have returned.
I have breathing problems in the cold, that was misdiagnosed as asthma (turns out its not, and its caused by my vocal cords). anyways, I spend 6 months of winter trapped inside as it is, or else i get sick if i go outside. This is my normal life.. the sad part is I'm going to miss spring! as i've been on lockdown since November. everyone is saying my lifestyle sucks:( (by the way, if anyone can hook me up with a job where it's warm, please hook me up). feel better soon jenny!
We all love you Jenny! Take as much time and rest as you need to feel well
I don't know if you're still interested in getting a test but there's drive thru testing happening in Camarillo, CA at the urgent care next to the 99 cent store. I don't know how close that is to you, but it's in so cal. From what I hear they're testing anyone who has symptoms. Feel better soon!
Does testing confer any benefit to the patient, given that there isn't a medicine known to be a super-cure?
Get well soon!! Take care of yourself! You know we will wait for your comeback when you are fully recovered and feel up to it! Take as long as you need and be safe!! 😘
:( Hope you feel better soon
Hope you feel better soon!! Sending you healing vibes <3
Yikes! Take it easy and get better!
get well soon
Get well soon Jenny!
Get well soon, Jenny!! 💚💚 Sending good vibes your way 🙏
Feel better Jenny! And everyone stay safe! <3
Feel better soon Jenny! Your health is more important than videos. As others have said you have a great backlog that can be continually rewatched.
It's wrong when employers withhold pay from sick workers who cannot afford to exert themselves by coming to the office. The better companies are giving everyone, even the healthy, paid time off to be at home with families and pets during these trying, uncertain times. Now, more than ever, is a time for compassion. I believe this page exists as a form of support, not as a transaction. The tier rewards are bonuses, not products which mandate delivery or promises which must be kept. Videos are work. We cannot expect work from those who need rest and recovery right now. I'd love a ramble this month, but I don't want it any more. I don't want it next month, either, if things are still bad. If the situation improves to the point where it's no bother, then I'm sure we'd all celebrate its return. For now, though, if it's work; if it costs energy or effort or causes stress that could hamper recovery... We don't need it.
Actually, when times are lean, sometimes companies have no choice but to withhold pay from sick workers so they can afford to pay temp workers who can actually bring in revenue, and so that the company is still alive for the sick workers to return to. Also, were any of us actually complaining, or sternly demanding fresh content or else??
Happy to be a patron at times like this specifically so you don't have to even think about putting out new content and can just focus on getting better. You're the best Jenny, hope you know how much we all love supporting you!
looking forward to your triumphant return and hoping you feel better soon <3 in the meantime, there's plenty of old content to rewatch :)
I've been thinking about you Jenny! Please take care of yourself. We just want you to get better and return to health.
Please get well soon!
Your humor and warmth brings so much comfort to us all. Rest up and get well soon.
Focus on getting better Jenny! We can wait for more videos.
Stay safe and best wises! It is tough being asthmatic as all the questions start with 'do you have shortness of breath' and I always do...
Get better soon!
Feel better, Jenny!! <3
You recovering >>>>>>>>>> New content. Hoping you feel better soon!
Hope you feel better soon! Please take your time recovering, we'll be here on the other side
Hope you recover quickly! <3
get well soon! keep your emergency inhaler close by!
Your patrons support you! Anything we can do to help so you can stay in quarantine. Hopefully you are within range of delivery services, and I guess if not less us know. And Get Well Soon :-)
Get Well Soon Jenny!!
Feel better, Jenny <3<3<3<3
Wishing you the best!
Hope you feel better soon! Your health comes first, obscure theme park content can wait. We will be here when you return!
Wishing you a speedy recovery! No pressure, taking care of yourself comes first.
Be well, Jenny! I'm sure nobody has to tell you this, but hydration is the key to keeping your lung lining healthy.
Take care of yourself!
feel better jenny!! your well-being is way more important than content! thanks for all you do!
Stay well and rest Jenny! No one is going to be upset if we miss out on a ramble or a few weeks of content. We all just want you to focus on getting better ❤
Good morning Jenny! So I just want to re-iterate what a lot of people have said already, and that is if you don't feel well then the planned content can absolutely wait and no one would ever think to fault you for taking some time off, considering the circumstances. I do very much appreciate your drive and willingness to still try and provide content even at a time like this when things are undoubtedly stressful for you, but rest and recovery is far far more imperative at the moment. That being said however, it may actually be a good idea to get back into your work routine for a little bit just to get your mind off of other things for a time? Seeing that video editing program load up might brighten your mood perhaps, and help you to feel better to a degree… or maybe not, I don’t know. lol I'm obviously no expert here! It's a tough call either way as to which of these would be the best choice, but I fully support whatever path you take because honestly for me (and everyone else here), your well-being is what is ultimately the most important right now Jenny. Nothing comes before that.
Please take care of yourself. The Bright Circle will keep turning as we await your good health and eventual content.
Stay safe and hydrated. Feel better.
Get well soon and stay safe.
Hope you feel better soon, Jenny 🎈
Take care of yourself and don't worry about putting out content. Your health is what matters; We'll still be here when you recover.
feel better, jenny!! we love you!
Wishing you the best, please stay safe!
Feel better!
Feel better, Jenny! Enjoy the time off
get well soon, Jenny! we love you!!
Here’s to a swift recovery🍻
get well soon, Jenny!! we love you!
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ TAKE OUR ENERGY JENNY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Oh no, feel better soon Jenny! No worries about resting, your health is more important!
Oh Jenny, I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. It must be very scary.I hope you are feeling better very soon. I don't know if you believe in sending positive vibes or hippie juju or prayers or any other kind of "energy work" but I do and I will send some of your way.
On the plus side, if you do have it, once you recover you'll be one of the first with immunity. Then you can vlog yourself wandering the empty burning streets, shaking your head sadly and whisper-shouting "you fools!"
Feel better soon.
Hope you recover okay Jenny we love you
From one asthmatic to another, wishing you a speedy recovery!
I’m so sorry you’re sick, and wish you a smooth, speedy recovery. As far as new content goes, I’m still only halfway through your Twitch stream video, so thank you (and your sister) for taking the time to record and post that, especially under the current circumstances. G-Fuel couldn’t hope for a more inspiring spokesperson! :)
I hope everything goes well, and I certainly hope you don't feel pressured to make content or anything. I'm not going anywhere for the time being.
Very sweet, please look after yourself and get better soon. The patrons are here to support you, not make you feel obligated to pump out extra content. Your wellbeing comes first, physical and mental.
Damn, I hope you feel better soon!
I've been watching your videos lately, just to escape from everything at times. Thank you for everything you do. Please get well soon.
Be safe Jenny. I also have asthma, and I'm very anxious about this whole thing. Sending positive thoughts your way.
First, Jenny take care of yourself and I'm so sorry you seem to have it. I didn't realize there was a restriction that you could only get a test if you had traveled internationally. That's insane. I try to not make political comments here, but I can't help it this time. This is just an example of how incompetent the Trump administration is. I know that people in other industrialized nations can all get tested if they are symptomatic. But Trump and his anti-government zealots disbanded a White House group that was specifically created by Obama to deal with these kinds of pandemics. If we had a competent person in the White House (this isn't even a question of ideology, even someone like a Mitt Romney that wasn't just a con man moron) things would be so much better. Anyway rant over, sorry If I offended anyone with opposite political views. I'm one of the immune compromised because I have Multiple Sclerosis and the injections I take weaken my immune system so I've been especially worried. Back to Jenny, again I hope she gets better soon. I've been binge re-watching all her videos as I've been experiencing cabin fever the last few days. And I mostly hate people but even I kind of like interacting with at least a few of them!
Good News! The pandemic-control office you mentioned WAS disbanded... ...because they were replacing it with a BETTER team, a group with expertise fighting pandemics AND bioterrorism AND germ warfare. It's called the National Biodefense Strategy I(https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/National-Biodefense-Strategy.pdf) and it was created in 2018, so -- and I hate to be contrarian -- the government HAS had exactly the right kind of experts working on plans for situations just like this. So again, Take Cheer! The current military-industrial complex is probably about as competent as is normally is.
❤️❤️❤️
Of course I always look forward to your content, but your health has to come first. I hope you feel better soon!
Feel better soon, Jenny!
Sorry to hear about your health condition. Wishing you a smooth recovery!
Get well soon! Just as you said with your content we will also be here when you get back! You got this❤👍
take care jenny don’t worry about posting ❤️
Stay safe and get well soon! Your health is so much more important than getting out content 😷❤
Wish the best, get well soon!!
Take care of yourself!!! Don’t worry about posting rn!!
Dont worry about the content. Just focus on getting better. :-)
Stay safe, get well, and fight the encroaching stir crazy mania!
please take care of yourself! i found that when my "cabin fever" gets hard, i immediately feel better after joining a discord chat of some classmates.
We can wait for the next ramble, don't worry. Stay safe and get well!
I'm a new patron and I've been binging your previous ramble videos while I try and telework. Glad to have so much to keep me occupied 😁 be safe and get well soon!
Health over content, be safe!
Get well soon! Your sister is there with you too, right? It's good that you have company.
Get well soon! Health comes first! :)
Jenny, get well soon! All the best from Germany. ❤️
We love ya, Jenny! Don't let the YouTube machine convince you that you need to rush out anything. Beat the Rona and we'll be here when you're ready.
Get well soon Jenny! ❤️
Hope you feel better soon! We are all here for you and will still be here for you when you return. Take care of yourself 💙
Take care and get well soon!!! ❤️ No rush!
Take care of yourself! Everything will be okay. 🖤
Stay healthy jenny!!
Do whatever you need to take care of yourself, I love listening to your take on things so whatever you need to do is fine with me. Also I think I saw you in Italy 2 weeks ago and you just got so sick you forgot... ;) Seriously it's here so when they come up with stupid restrictions on testing come up with stupid answers.
Would not recommend lying to healthcare professionals during a global pandemic.
Hope you’re felling better soon🌠
thinking of you jenny! we’ll all still be here to consume theme park content whenever you’re feeling better, just take care of yourself! 💕
stay safe jenny!! i hope you get well soon
Hope you're feeling better soon!
Get as much rest as you can and take your time! We’ll all be here when you’re feeling up to more videos!
Videos don’t matter. Take your time, and feel better.
We love you Jenny, and hope you start to feel better! And please remember, your wellbeing is WAY more important than some strangers' desire for entertainment. You know that, of course, but it never hurts to repeat it. I'll be praying for your quick recovery!
hi jenny i hope you feel better soon. have you been taking ibuprofen? i'm asking not as some kind of expert but because my sister is also asthmatic and was only recently told by a doctor that ibuprofen worsens asthmatic symptoms and slows down recovery time, which I think is extremely troubling of the medical system since it's used by several asthmatics i know.
Relax and get better. Videos can wait.
Feel better soon Jenny! ♡ And everyone please be safe.
Get well soon <3
Please rest, Jenny. Rambles (and everything else) can wait!
do whatever makes you feel better!
feel better soon, Jenny.
Do NOT worry about putting out content right now. Focus on feeling/getting better! All we want is for you to be safe, happy, and healthy. Take as long as you need, we’ll be here for you! ❤️
I hope you feel better, Jenny!
Sending you all sorts of positive vibes and well wishes ❤ take care of yourself and dont worry at all about releasing new content! I got laid off from my job in January and going through your older videos & rewatching my favorites has kept me sane and laughing during a really bleak time. Stay strong and rest and we'll all be ready to laugh at some bizarre fan fic when you're back in tip top shape!
Take your time and get better. If it takes a month for you to recover, I'm definitely ok with that.
Please don't push yourself, please just rest. This coronavirus is serious. Rest and get well soon.
Stay powerful Jenny!
Get well soon, Jenny! Your health is much more important than new content and we can wait. Please take care of yourself first and foremost!
Take care of yourself Jenny hope you recover soon! I'm grateful for the many hours of amazing content you've already put out so please don't rush things.
Get better Jenny.
There’s no Get Well cards for parasocial friends, but if there were, I would absolutely send one. Please take as much time as you need. We’ll be here for you when you’re ready to get back into the swing of things.
For anyone that missed it Jenny was a guest on the 2nd episode of the new Musical Splaining podcast with Lindsay Ellis. So there's some recent 'content' to tide us over until she's fully recovered.
Link is here ( https://podtail.com/en/podcast/musicalsplaining/02-frozen/ ), assuming Patreon doesn't remove this comment for having a link, which it's been known to do sometimes. If that happens, this paragraph is just a reminder to myself to repost this with an explanation that you can find episodes by Googling "musicalsplaining the podcast the musical" and going to the results for Podtail.
feel better jenny, take all the time you need ❤️
We appreciate your urge to put out more content but your health always comes first. It’s difficult to be sick during a time like this. But you’ve got TONS of support from people who just want you to be healthy. Stay safe and feel better. Wishing you the best.
Hi, I personally couldn't care less about videos when your health is concerned. Do what you want when you want, my poor one dollar pledge won't go away. Wishing you all the best from France!
I'm so sorry for what you're going through, and I'm hoping things turn around and you get better very soon.
We're good Jenny, take care of yourself! Hope you're able to get an easy refill of the steroid you mentioned on Twitter. In Canada pharmacists can refill non-narcotics at their discretion even outside of a pandemic so fingers crossed that's the case for you.
OR, O Jenny, you can just ask us to send all the medications you need, want, or have ever been curious about via your mail drop or your agent or something. We're not the general public, after all -- we're your *Patreons*, here to support your creative works, and as such, it's totally fine to mention if you need something.
I hope you feel better soon! May Winx Club Bloom guard you’re wellbeing
Get well soon Jenny ❤️
Hey Jenny, all the best to you. Take all the time and get well soon. I‘m lucky enough to be in Germany and have a home office. So I‘ll raise my pledge for a while. Hope it helps!
Damn, this is dark but there are a lot of free spaces in the ride-or-die OG realest crew. I’m tempted to change my pledge to this tier, but then I’d not be able to vote anymore … and is it even possible to stay in a lower tier and pledge more money at the same time? Hm.
I think you can totally do that. Patreon isn't exactly a Swiss watch, so there's lots of room for maneuvers like $1 Pledge Level But Pay $5...but you might have to do it as Pledge $5 But Select $1 Pledge Level.
Please take it easy, you're allowed a quiet month with a once-in-a-century pandemic!
Get well soon Jenny. Keep those oxygen levels high!
Don’t feel like you have put out anything for us. Your health is the most important thing at the moment. I hope you feel better soon ❤️
Hope you feel better soon Jenny! Look after yourself, plenty of time to make content when you’re healthy. We’ll all still be here :)
Stay safe Jenny ❤️
Take the time you need to rest and feel better Jenny. We'll be waiting patiently for you next video :)
Be safe and we’ll Jenny! Is there anything you need help with right now? I can’t possibly think of anything I could assist you with but if you need anything, there are a lot of us here.
Hope you're feeling better soon, Jenny. Take care of yourself, we need you fit and well for all the obscure themepark-related content that we crave. You're the best. x
Take care of yourself 💕
Please rest. We will be here when you are healthy
Hope you feel better soon!
Get well soon Jenny!! :’( Sending love!
Your health comes first! Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️
Honestly just look after yourself. I understand it must be incredibly stressful and as a viewer I’d rather have you back when you’re 100% then see you struggle during something this physically stressful. Health above all
Don't worry about content, and focus on taking care of yourself! Hope you recover soon, and that it's not Coronavirus. Sending good thoughts and well wishes your way!
please please please take care of yourself!! rest easy and get well swiftly 🧡
Feel better, Jenny! We'll miss you but glad to know you're taking care of yourself instead of putting your health at risk. Rest up, we will be here when you get back as well! ✌️🖤
get that good rest.
Stay safe and well Jenny (and everyone!)
hope you feel better jenny, don't stress about putting out content and just focus on getting better
Hope you have a speedy recovery! ❤️
Take as much time as you need. Your health is most important.
Sorry you're sick Jenny. Hope you recover quickly. Please take care of yourself and we will be here when you're well.
