Last Shelter: How to split heroes with the new hero interface

It's Hero Development day as of this writing. And I was about to split my green heroes to get through COZ when I realized, the splitting button is gone with the new updated hero interface.

Luckily, we just finished Doomsday Season 2 and my alliance was lucky enough to get season 2 heroes as rewards. So this splitting method should work if you have Orange heroes with a 4th skill that has not been leveled up yet. (4th Skill counting from the left, top row).

The 4th skill requires 10 purple hero medals and 5 blue hero medals to unlock. When you click on UNLOCK, you should see an option to CHOOSE hero medals that are already available or to do a Hero Split. If you have heroes available for splitting, then they should appear on the bottom half of the screen.

In the same way, Orange Heroes can also be split, but this time, by using 7th or 8th skills of an Orange Hero that have not been leveled up yet. (3rd or 4th skill counting from the left, bottom row).

Another drawback of the interface update is that you can no longer split Green Heroes as of this writing. There are rumors that the developers will remedy this in the future since a lot of gamers are unhappy with this update. But in the meantime, you can still upgrade your Blue Heroes' skills in the same manner, then split and repeat to get through your Gold Boxes in COZ. Hope this helps you out.

COVID 19 Death Per Population

Meaningful data is important in trying to solve any problems. I was looking at the number of deaths per country at worldometers.info and thought that if we wanted to know how each country was handling their COVID 19 cases well, we should measure it against their population. This made me come up with the following sheet.

I didn't even know of the country San Marino. But their deaths of 20 compared to their small population of 33,931 gives them an unusually high Death Per Population statistic. Does this mean that their country is not handling / containing the COVID 19 threat properly? Upon using Google Maps, their figures made much more sense.

San Marino is located above Italy, which as of this time, is the country with the highest number of COVID 19 related deaths.

It was also interesting to find out that despite having more than 500 cases of COVID 19, Saudi Arabia has zero deaths due to this virus. Qatar, South Africa, Estonia, and Armenia are doing a great job of keeping their COVID 19 cases alive. Contrast Qatar (501 cases, 0 deaths) with the Philippines (501 cases, 33 deaths). Based on that data, one might conclude that Qatar is doing a better job than the Philippines.

Armenia is also a curious case since it is similar to San Marino in that it is located above Iran, one of the countries with a high number of COVID 19 cases, and yet it has zero deaths as of this writing.

Perhaps the countries with zero deaths should share their best practices in fighting COVID 19 with the rest of the world. Maybe their residents also have the best anti-bodies at fighting this viral global threat. At this time, everyone must help out in any way they can so that our generation survives this global pandemic.  

COVID 19 Enhanced Community Quarantine

We have just finished a week under a community quarantine. Most weeks seem to breeze by so fast. But this particular week seemed to last like an eternity. Our family has been glued to every information source - the radio, television, and the internet - just to learn as much as possible about the virus and how the government is addressing the situation.

I can't help but wonder about the following:

• How long can the rest of the world remain in a state of quarantine? I understand that the quarantine is supposed to slow down the spread of the virus. But if people cannot work and buy food, then they might die of starvation instead. A government can only supply food as long as their are stocks. Worse, being in a state of quarantine could lead to civil unrest which could lead to riots, increased crime rates, and anarchy.
• There has been so much emphasis on testing if one has been infected by the virus. But chances are, at some point, everyone would have already been infected because the virus continues to spread even if countries have implemented lock downs. Will countries reach a point where they will have to kill their own citizens to prevent the spread of the disease? I have probably been watching too many apocalyptic world scenarios where only doomsday preppers survive. Instead of mass testing, perhaps the government should focus on finding a cure. And while that is taking time, they should try to increase the immunity of the people and the capacity of health services to take care of their patients. What use is finding out that you have the virus when hospitals are full and will only end up turning you away. It seems like biotech companies are only seeing these test kits as a money making opportunity. Perhaps the owners of these biotech companies should be exposed to the virus so that they realize how useless it is to have all the money they can amass when their health is affected.
• Is this the global problem that the antichrist will solve? This virus problem will probably affect the global economy. Being under quarantine has given government authorities a reason to prevent anyone from buying and selling. Only individuals with a pass issued by the government will be allowed to purchase. And authorities are pushing for electronic means of payment since the virus can supposedly be passed on through objects like paper money and coins. So, this virus or similar events in the future might force everyone to comply with a global system of payment and tracking individuals. Refuse to receive their mark or pass will mean starvation.

There is always hope in Jesus. That is what I choose to believe even when the situation seems grim. As Christians, if we die because of this virus, we know that we have a place in heaven. God may be using this virus as a wake up call for people to busy with this earthly life. God may be reminding each and everyone of us that there is more to life than amassing wealth, popularity, or power. We have to give an account for how we lived our life on the day of judgement. Did we use our lives for God's glory? Did we lead others to Jesus? Or did we only live for our own selfish pursuits? I hope that if you are reading this, you would surrender your life to Jesus for He is the only one who can give us hope and peace in troubled times. And even if you die because of this virus, you are assured that Jesus has prepared a place for you to live with Him in eternity. That knowledge helps us continue living on because our lives are in His hands.
