To all my friends at Midwestern FurFest: I hope you are doing well and alright this morning.

I don't have many details, just as many others don't, but apparently 19 people have been hospitalized while at Midwestern FurFest.

I'm glad to hear that :icon-lando-: is okay, but i do know a lot of people, whether i talk to them regularly, know of them, or just watch their art. Names aren't as recognizable to me aa their contributions, but that doesn't make me worry any less as I groggily lay on my friend's couch and read this news.

I don't know who the 19 were at this time, but I hope ALL of you reading this are doing well.

For those Unaware
Chlorine, the substance used to clean pools and keep mold from growing in them, is a very deadly poison when in a gaseous form. http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/chlorine/basics/facts.asp

Not only that, but Chlorine gas is heavier than air, meaning that the gas will sink and pool in low lying places.

Please be well, my friends...
