The MS Flight Simulator team are scaling things back for a while as Covid-19 spreads and concerns over employee health increase:
In light of recent health concerns, we’ve asked the team to focus on their health and well-being. As a result, our normal development updates will be scaled back over the next few weeks as we continue to monitor the situation. On behalf of the entire team, we express our sincere apologies for the impact this decision has on our community. We will do our best to continue providing status updates, and look forward to resuming regular postings in the near future. (Source)
I wonder how many other developers are going to be affected over the next few months. And other business too. In just the last week the wife’s business has had 3 groups cancel scheduled trips (one from the States, one from Australia, one going to Japan) and a 4th (to Reunion next month) is looking like it’s about to be ditched too. It’s pretty much all her significant business for the rest of the year. Hopefully they’ll all reschedule for later dates or next year, but this thing is starting to hit hard (and it’s still relatively early days.)
I trope checked this and did some research. He did indeed write this email many years ago and his credentials check out. Just a note from the trope checking: the lozenges thing is not a cure, it MIGHT slow the symptoms down.
