The hardest part of doing vlogs again is how it takes me away from my incredibly important task of rewatching the same shows Ive already rewatched dozens of times!

Hello PaulTalkers and other viewers!
This is Q-VEDA day 2 but also my 21st day of self-isolating in Los Angeles. Our local Safer-At-Home order came out on March 20th, but I started Staying Home on March 13th.
You should also Stay Home, bc that is the biggest thing most of us can do to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Youve probably heard that already, but maybe you dont know what it means.
First of all, its not an overreaction. This virus is a type of SARS thats similar to pneumonia. Those things can already be deadly, but this virus is a new variant that is more determined.
Countries with better healthcare than ours are seeing lots of deaths but we are on track to be number one. Lets not.
Secondly, this virus transmits through moisture thats come from the lungs. It gets carried to you either via a cough or sneeze directly, or someone else had the virus on them and infected something that you touched and then you infect yourself if you dont get rid of it.
Staying 6ft away from everyone makes a huge difference. Pretend youre playing a game of ultimate tag with everyone in the world but everyone is already it and people who get tagged can die.
But thirdly, there are things you can still do. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds whenever you touch anything. Soap exposure breaks down the virus that you got on you so that it stops being able to make you sick.
Disinfect hard stuff that you have to touch. Thats your phone, your keyboard, your glasses, any doorknobs, etc. Even if youve been washing your hands, you may have accidentally touched things without realizing it.
Wear a cheap simple face mask. This does not prevent the disease! However, even when people try to stay 6ft away from each other, through talking, laughing, singing, even just breathing hard, they can still be spreading the virus without knowing it. The mask reduces the spread just by stopping water particles. Wash your hands before you put it on and after you take it off.
Please tell me that you are also staying home! Are there are any quick tips that I missed? Share them with us!
Lets hope tomorrow is better.

For the first couple of hours of work this morning, I had to keep telling myself that there wasnt time for crying because I still had work to do. So thats self-isolation day 32.
Hello PaulTalkers and other viewers,
The US Postmaster General asked congress last week to save our Postal Service. With the coronavirus, the mass mailings that are its main source of funds have dried up.
I would never say that America is the best at anything except maybe our postal service. Its almost 230 years old and predates our constitution. We have telephones, we have cable TV, we have wired internet and wifi, but there are still places in this huge nation where the only communication happens via physical mail.
For as long as Ive been in California, Ive taken advantage of the tremendously accessible vote-by-mail system. It should be the norm in our country instead of the exception!
As someone with an immunocompromised system, I rely upon the medications that my pharmacy mails to me.
And every December, Santa Paul renews his admiration and devotion to our mail carriers who deliver the Christmas cards he cant drop off in person.
There is only one reason why the Trump administration would want the postal system to fail and it has nothing to do with competitive capitalism. Our postal service and the vote-by-mail option working together are some of the most likely things to get conservatives out of office.
For once, I can give some action items!
1) Share anything on social media that gives good info about #SaveUSPS
2) Buy some stamps from the online store at usps.com! Theyre not going to get delivered for a while because they are already selling out of stock, but its a tiny individual thing that can help.
3) MOST IMPORTANTLY, contact Congress and tell them to do the right thing. I used @resistbot on twitter. I just followed and DMd the account with the word resist and then told it to send a message to my congressional representatives to do whatever needed to save the USPS!
What will you do to join me in supporting the postal service? Would you like me to mail you something? Let me know in the comments below!
And lets hope tomorrow is better.

Its the next to last day of April. Lets talk about the future.
[music: Minor Swing]
Hello PaulTalkers and other viewers!
Youve probably heard about protests from white people who want to reopen things. And maybe youve heard politicians talking about trying to do that, too.
When is it going to be safe?
It will start to be safe when theres a widely available vaccine and not one day before that.
We wont be able to have safely crowded spaces until some time after that once everyone has gotten vaccinated and the incidents have stopped happening.
For comparison: The Ebola virus was discovered in 1976, thirty years after the flu vaccine. The vaccine for Ebola was worked on for decades. In 2014, the best candidate began to be worked on and in 2019, the vaccine was approved in the US and Europe. Thats 43 years.
The 2002-2003 SARS coronavirus went 20 months before a vaccine was ready for testing.
On the one hand, COVID-19 is much more aggressive in its spread than either of those, but on the other hand, the entire world is working on a vaccine, rather than just some research laboratories.
Its still a safe bet that 1 year from now is the shortest we should be thinking well be able to start reopening things. And the smartest best is 2-3 years.
I dont want to make you sad. I want to make you stay as safe as possible for as long as possible. Please dont stop sheltering-at-home until you can take a vaccine or until you fully recover if you contract the virus.
And lets hope tomorrow is better.
