How can you run from something that never stops? 

How can you hide from something that hides within you?

How can you trust someone when they try to kill you?

How can I make it through this quarantine?

All I have to do is make it through this  quarantine.

What if it never ends?

What if I don't make it?

What if the quarantine fails?

What then?

What happens?

The human population increased from 1 billion to 7.8 billion between 1800 and 2020 because of sewage treatment, clean drinking water, vitamins, vaccines and antibiotics. In the USA in 1800, 46% of babies died before their fifth birthday; in 2020 less than 1% died. (Breastfeeding babies up to 12 months should be given 400 IU of vitamin D per day; 600 IU thereafter). In 1536, Jacques Cartier's crew were cured of scurvy with a tea made from the arbor vitae tree's needles (which have 50 mg of vitamin C per 100g). In 1796, Dr.E.Jenner developed a smallpox vaccine from cowpox. In 1812, When Napoleon invaded Russia only 40,000 soldiers survived a typhus epidemic; over 400,000 died. Between1848 and 1870, life expectancy in Liverpool, England, increased from 19 years to 40 years because of the new sewage system. In 1854, Dr. J. Snow identified a public well as the source of a cholera outbreak in London. In 1865, J.Lister applied a carbolic acid solution, to a boy's broken leg and was amazed when the leg bones fused back together without gangrene. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

yall im writing segments of stories for quARTine in these troubled times and thought i would combine and share them all here (prompt list here: https://jazzy-kandra.tumblr.com/post/612965038784937984/a-prompt-list-for-artists-and-creatives-of-all ) read if you enjoy short stories written in a kinda one-shots fanfiction style but with MY ocs, all set in fantastical worlds and including but not limited to: siblings annoying another, a dragon, a farmer-turned-guard-turned-smuggler on the run from the law, perhaps stabby knives and wicked eyepatches, and general tomfoolery. covid-19 might confine me to my room, but it can't restrain all this imagination juice flowing from my computer screen to yours!
