BEST PRACTICAL TIPS FOR SELF-ISOLATION
This is an article by the NZ Ministry of Health.
But the GENERAL info is outstanding and applies in all of our cases.
If you need to self-isolate, this is an EXCELLENT resource.

Stephen Amell announced on his IG the he will have a chat at 11:00 am PT daily beginning today on his IG page. Since his new show for STARZ has suspended production. He’s also been promoting Code 8 the crowdfunded feature film released last year, his nocking point vintage wine club, plus being at home with his kids.
Supposedly about the best fan base experience throughout his run as Arrow.

Anyone up for a TAR ‘Rewatch’ during our ‘self-isolation’ period?

Anyone up for a TAR ‘Rewatch’ during our ‘self-isolation’ period?
Great idea...but maybe not right away...

Anyone up for a TAR ‘Rewatch’ during our ‘self-isolation’ period?
I'd join in whenever it gets started. I started rewatching TAR from season 1 around Christmas time. I'm about done with season 8 (the family edition). I've done some screengrabs of video errors, mostly reversed images. One was in the intro clips of the teams and appeared in every episode that season! At some point I'll get the ambition together to post them.
-
Another idea that may be possible. Some message boards have chat rooms available to them. Perhaps a scheduled, moderated chat may be of interest.
-
We'll work something out but not just yet...lets see what the next couple of weeks brings first.
-
:bump: to say check the activities for KIDS above...just added a Kroger Nat Park SAFARI!! :conf:
-
Can someone post some links for learning a foreign language here? Free is great but the good paid ones too. Thanks!
-
Ongoing added...if you are bored check the links above...I am starting to like the idea of some forced isolation time!! Fab fun things!
Please add to this...all ideas welcome!

If you have Amazon Prime, they have lots of old programs and movies that you can watch for free. I've been watching early TAR seasons and a few old game shows, but I'll likely start looking at what else is there. Outlander sounds interesting. I may check it out.

Awesome! Thanks Jobby!

We probably need a thread for this.
But various personalities and venues are conducting online chats, concerts online either from home or empty arenas. Many are being made available afterwards for later viewing.
First one is Stephen Amell, Oliver Queen on Arrow, His General plan is to host a chat.with a guest daily at 11AM PDT/2 PM EDT. (During the years Arrow was being produced, Stephen had frequent updates on his YouTube channel from his backlot trailer and grew a fan base in the millions. He's home in LA with production of his STARZ series suspended. He’s had his cousin Robbie Amell on and his fellow Arrow castmate Kat MaNamara, who played Mia Smoak on the last two seasons.
Rosie O’Donnell hosted a one time only revival of her talk show on Friday as a fundraiser for the Actor’s Fund, which provides support for those employed in all the various crafts, and not just actors in the entertainment field. The show is posted at broadway.com. Everyone who participated did so remotely. So that was a technological marvel. There were a lot of well known performers, most with a Broadway connection, but I’ll mention one — Darren Criss who does television, film, stage, and concerts, and who has won a few Emmys.
I’ll add more as I find or remember them. But feel free to add some others.

Jobby!! :luvya:
Atlanta has just confirmed schools are to remain closed at best, another month and many think until fall.
My homeschooling Moms are going to LOVE this!

Amazing list, Jobby! I see several things I'd be tempted to explore myself.

Just saw this link in my twitter feed.
It is a continuously updated list of “a schedule of all the free on-line theatre screenings that I found. Enjoy and message me if you have any additions. I'll be updating the doc as we go - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…” from @Alysa Kayanova

MASKS FOR ALL!
DO it guys...protect yourself, your loved ones and our world.
A 2 minute mask maybe even I can do!

Unless no masks is on sale, I do not recommend homemade masks since no evidence proves they're effective. I've never seen anyone recommend homemade masks on the Chinese Internet. One had better wear a mask meeting a certain medical standard—N95, KN90, etc.
-
Sorry SuperTux that comment cannot go unanswered . IT IS INCORRECT.
N95's protect you best yes--- but are not available here yet for most of us, our medical teams need them first.
But wearing even a homemade mask is a good thing. Minimizing spreading our droplets to others will help reduce the curve. I keep my droplets away from you and you keep yours away from me.
I have worked ER's and ICU's for years and although fitted for one, never ONCE needed a N95 because that wasn't the kind of illnesses I did.. An ordinary hospital mask was all I ever needed and never once did I catch something from a patient. Flu's, TB, others...nothing.
WEAR A MASK. ALL OF US.
If you are international and can get one, by all means use a N95. But for here, I would not use one until our medical teams and first responders are covered FIRST. Meanwhile, stay "sheltered in place". Don't go out anywhere that you can avoid. An open air walk is fine if you can stay 6-12 feet apart. Avoid crowds. DO your shopping NOT every day...go once a week or two and yes, wear your homemade mask and wash your hands like crazy. I am seeing large influxes of basic masks online now coming in from China, they will do fine for now IF WE ARE CAREFUL and maintain our distance and do all the rec'd precautions. . Far better than nothing.

I’m finding it impossible here to find masks locally, even cloth masks.The. EST I can see at Amazon that aren’t price gouging have delivery dates in late May or later. Even bandanas.
It’s very frustrating.
