Post "Brief Health Update" by "PerunAU" from patreon

Kieran

COVID or the Flue are not easy to get fully over take the extra time to get fully well.

Izak

Probably because covid isn't a bacterial infection but rather a viral infection, so it wouldn't make much sense to take antibiotics for it. If a doctor gives you antibiotics for something, it is fair to assume that it is something else than covid.

James Calum

One idea for a video down the line, perhaps for April Fools or for a week off, would be a tier list of the various myth/rumours from most to least credible

K Sherwood

Just curious: why do you think it is not COVID? After all, COVID is all over Australia right now...

Daniel Hall

Oh, I forgot. It's winter down under.

Don Balduf

Hope you feel better soon. Rest, heal and come back when you are ready. We'll be there when you return!

Olufemi Adediwura

Hey there just really, really glad you are feeling up to giving us an update…. Please get well soon!!!

RiseofArn

fuck the schedual, get better and rest

Tom VG

Take your time to rest and get well soon!

tatra21

Hope you get well soon Perun! Dont push yourself!

Martin

Antibiotics? So bacterial infection...

Alexis Jouanneaux

Que quelqu’un paie l’assurance santé de cet homme immédiatement !

Gregory Budziszewski

So happy to know you’re on the mend 👍🏻. I was worried for you 🫡💙💛

Stephen T. Robbins

Take care. We'll be here if and when you can return.

Bryan Goodwin

Get well, take your time and rest up. You've been hammering out videos regularly for two years, it'll be okay and we understand.

Michaela

Get well soon & take your time.

Matt Wust (Fake Patch Clapp)

Get well soon mate

Joseph Scales

Dude, take care of yourself first. Appreciate your work and honor whatever time frame works for you. A healthy Perun is an awesome Perun!

Thomas Brendel

Don’t worry about us patrons. We’ve got your back. Take all the time you need and return healthy and refreshed. Best wishes from an American truckie.

Dehkia

Take care, I hope you get better soon!

dreamcoyote

I think you should just do the powerpoint with audio commentary by AI text to speech . JOKING!!!!! JUST JOKING!!!! (although 20 seconds of it at the beginning of the next one would be funny >:) )

Dylan

Hope you get well soon Perun!

Fritz Krammer

You've been giving us weekly powerpoints for over two years now, I doubt a week or more without one will be that much an inconvenience on our part. Recover well so you can inform us what those dastardly Emuland people are planning

Tyler Peterson

No need to apologize. Focus on your health, we'll all still be here when you post again. Get well soon!

Jericho

To sound like you : Antibiotics tend to go kinetic on bacteria quickly. It's a logistic problem : You need to bring as much ammo to the front line so the AB can do their job efficiently, without going bankrupt in the process. Hold on, Kiwiland will survive this crisis !

Ralph Herold

Don't worry, health first ! Take the time you need, you have given us so many videos over the years. Take care of yourself and take the rest you need. Get well soon !

Marcel L Oman

Don't worry about the episode! Just take care of yourself! Wishing you all the best from Seattle.

Wedge Antilles

Take all the time you need to fully recover! Nothing worse than going back to normal too soon, just to relapse into illness because of it. If this means another 2 or 3 weeks without another episode, that is perfectly fine!

Anton

Don't worry about the episode, we will survive. Rest up and get well soon!

William Comars

I was afraid that you'd moved too close to a 16th floor window. Please take all the time you need to fully recover.

John Vissenga

Take your time to get back, no rush. We'll all still be here waiting whenever you feel ok again

Traian Olinescu

And please get well first

Traian Olinescu

Kinda scary you haven't taken a break in more than 2 years and as a European, i wish to hear you will take 4 weeks off in August to go on a well deserved holiday!

Doggo

Always good to hear from you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Daniel Schwartz

You've given up flawless weekly videos for years now. Take another week or two and get healthy if thats what you need. There will always be time for more down the line. Hope your recovery and smooth and swift!

Richard Gemmell

Take the time to get better before throwing yourself back into the fray. We can wait another week or two. Best wishes. R

Jaapique

Get well soon! (which also happens to be also a great band :)

Theo Keizers

Please get better first, missing another week or 2 isnt the problem. Health first please. Get better soon! I wish you all the best.

Chemobob

Please, take all the time you need! Defence economics are important, but health is more importanter :P There are plenty of videos to re-watch for people who are needy. Get well soon, mate!

Thomas Amoroso

Everyone already said it, but focus on getting well. Your fans can wait. As for the people who feel they can’t, well, your fans will smack them so hard even google won’t be able to find them. Your health comes first; the rest of us will suck it up and deal.

Walter Houser

Get well. We'll be here when you get better. Your title as king of orange and black PowerPoints will be unchallenged.

Veteran of the Mushroom Wars

Outrageous. Every hour I have no powerpoint, I eat one kitten. This is all your fault. That said, please take all the time you need to recover. As it turns out, kittens are delicious

Jon Deets

Dude. Perun we, understand. You put out awesome content that not only I enjoy but can use it to make points I can't articulate to others not to mention I've been hearing your name mentioned more and more among the professional history, economic, and defense crowds which means you must be doing something right. That being said you only have one life and one body. We all understand and would prefer you take your time and let your body heal right versus aiming for the short-term.

Toms

Don't rush back, we can wait, just focus on your health :-) But at some point I think you should also include some planned vacation weeks (3+) in your schedule, otherwise you risk grinding yourself down, so focus on your healt and work/life balance first :-)

Uwe Frey

Mit den besten Wünschen für eine schnelle Genesung = Best wishes for a speedy recovery And no worries about our Perum addiction. We will wait for you 👍🏻

Richard Jorissen

Take your time ❤️. Your Health is very important

DoomDutch

No need for apologies mate; get better soon!

Alyster

Saw you missed the usual release day and honestly was just worried if you were ok. Glad to hear you're bearing up - get well! I'm sure defence economics will still be there when you're healed ;)

Tommi Säntti

Get well mate!

JanPeter van der Velden

Get well and God bless...

iMy

Don’t worry about videos, Please take the time and prioritize a full recovery.

Mostlygreen

Health first. Videos later. If you're not as bouncy as a juvenile kangaroo you shouldn't be feeding the YouTube Moloch.

Chariton Iosifides

Get well! And the videos can wait! Anyways. This is another function of us patrons. To ensure that you will have the time to get well. Not just barely functional. But well! The videos can wait. 🙂

Tom Joyce

Just concentrate on getting yourself better! Also throwing a sickie is an Aussie constitutional right so no worries!😁

Frits Spits

Your health is way more important than the schedule! Take your time and get well first. We can wait.

Oscar Stevenson

The videos can wait. Rest and get better matey

Sebastian Rönnqvist

The quality and regularity of your videos are simply unparallelled on youtube. Make sure not to overwork yourself and only restart when you are well rested. Remember, intellectual work requires a well rested mind.

Enrico Migliorini

Mate, heal, please. You've not missed a beat for two years and a few months, you are entitled to a break

KapitainZino

I hope you get well soon. And I hope that you feel our strong support that much, that you allow yourself to take the needed time for your full recovery! Some infections are very tricky and underestimating them means the recovery get prolonged over many weeks and months! So please put everything aside and concentrate at your speedy recovery! My main nurse needed over 2 months to be able to work again after an unknown infection, being in best condition before. 🤞🍀🍀🍀

Peter Bölke

Get well soon...all the stuff can wait

Moritz Brunnhofer

Wish you a great recovery! Don`t stress yourself, we will be able to wait patiently :). Take care of yourself and better return in strength, rather then force something that`s not helping you and might make things worse. All the best, Moritz

Thel 'Vadam

I wish you the best for your health and swift recovery. Don't sweat about the lack of uploads you provided us with HQ content for 2 years we got alot to revisit and health always is the highest priority, so take care of that before worrying about anything else. Like a wise man once said "health isn't everything but without health anything else becomes meaningless "

JKvdA

Hope you feel better soon and eating walnut cake before you know it. Take care.

Richard Dietzen

Please care for yourself. We ain’t gonna fire you!

Hannes Gerl

All the best to you. Take some time out and come back strong and alive. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Your rest is very much deserved. We`ll wait happily for your come back.

ROGER STEMP

G'day mate. Sorry to hear that you are still feeling crook but lets hope the antibiotics do their job. If you were not so bloody good at what you do then we wouldn't miss you as much. But your health is paramount so rest and take care. All the episodes in the world are no good if you are not there to make them. And thanks for all the work you do - it is all so very much appreciated. We can all wait!

Chris Wheeler

Please focus on your health first! While I am in severe withdrawal due to the lack of a Perun episode last week ; ) , I am more than happy to wait. Get well soon!

shaked migdal

Get well, your health is the highest priority!

Gordon Hamilton

Getting well is far more important than posting I’m sure you have the best wishes from everyone here Fingers crossed you feel better soon

cruisey1987

Hope your feel better soon but don't stress about missing the video updates for a week or two. We know a lot of work goes into each video, plus you've a job on top so better to recover first before diving back into the PowerPoint slides

Darius Žižys

Get better first. Patreon is voluntary choice to support your work, don't feel like you are demanded to make a video each week no matter what just because you get that support. Stay safe and best regards from Lithuania.

Gregory O'Hagan

Your content is incredible and we're looking forward to seeing you again, whenever that may be. Take the time you need to recover!

Justus Wingert

I'll join the chorus of well wishes and for God's sake man take some time to recover!

Charles Singleton

Don't worry lad, get better and we can look forward to some quality analysis when you are back on your feet. Good luck and hopefully it wasn't the fault of Kiwiland....

Richard Niland

Let's not have a "How Release Schedules Destroy Defense Analysts" video anytime soon please :)

Kaspar van den Ham

Get well first! Beterschap!

Maxi Weller

Rest well and get healthy. Dont worry too much about releasing a Video. The service youve given to us as a community over 2 years is superb. You need to rest as well

Martin Seeger

Please prioritize recovery before bringing us new content. The urge to keep up a streak is strong within us, especially for gamers. But I think almost every one of us viewers will happily wait a few weeks for you taking all the tine you need to recover. Remember: recovery alone is already hard work by itself

Rob Tu

Take care man! We'll have a quick browse and hear what sgt bullshitski was up to a year ago. Get better and take some time off!

Luc Gierten

If you die, can I get your bush knoife?

ALLAN LEES

Please just take enough time to recover properly. Your dedication is admirable but I think all your subscribers want you to be well far more than we want the next video.

Supporter

I wish you a good recovery. :-) And don't worry about the video. I can wait another week.

Peter Jensen

Getting better is the most important thing. Really. Take all the time you need. All the best from Northern Europe.

Spencer R

When I saw you hadn't posted a video, it was clear that some sort of health emergency was in play. Please take care of yourself - we'll all be here when you are feeling better. All the best!

MiketheMediator

Rest, and be well!

Daniel K

Get well and prioritize that. Whilst i hope for content, the world will keep spinning if a PPT presentation is delayed for a week..:

Lance H

Hello from Canada! I too was worried when you didn’t post on Sunday, but am delighted to hear you’re okay. I’ve experienced what you’re going through - when my wife had a stroke a decade ago, I had two young kids, a job, a wife gravely ill in hospital, and no time for anything but survival. I got by on no sleep and little food for months until I was at the point of collapse. I miss the videos, but you can only “stiff upper lip” it for so long. Get the rest you need, get healthy, and the community you’ve so patiently built up over the last few years will be here when you come back. All my best, Lance

DoktorWA

Get well soon mate! We'll still be here when you recover. Everyone deserves a week off from time to time.

Annag Chandler

Your faithful followers will be here when you're feeling better. I'm still astonished at the community that you've created -- who would have thought that long-form content, even with a thread of Aussie snark, would amalgamate this many devoted members? Bask in your accomplishments and see you when you're back on track.

Trevayne

Yes, take care of yourself and thanks for telling us what is happening. Superb material like yours is always worth waiting for.

Tasa

You're just under the weather, the Ruskies didn't get ya. May all the gods of all the pantions bless you back to health & beyond with this Full Moon.

Laura Davis

Think of it as PTO (paid time off in the US). You need your health. Take care of yourself.

Jerry Han

Get better soon! Take as much time as you need.

Erik Rudolph

Take care of yourself. The rest of us will be fine for a week or two without you.

SemperPsychedelic

Mate, when your video didn’t drop like clockwork on Sunday, my legitimate first reaction was “bugger, I hope nothing permanent happened to him. I’d hate to have to go without future videos.” I’m beyond relieved to hear that you’re alive and recovering (if not particularly healthy at present). I’d rather see you take a couple weeks to get back to 100% than push through being ill and risk burning out. Legitimately look forward to your content each week, and would rather you preserve long term capacity than burning through your productive capital.

Dave & Pam

Take as much time as you need to recover and best wishes!

Yves Riguet

Be Safe and Sound, Mate 🖐️

Dyslexic Character Sheets

Take all the time you need. We'll still be here.

John Bryant

Rest. Do not worry about content. Your diligence is commendable, but we want you healthy and well. You haven't let us down by taking care of yourself, let us take care of you by staying fans, patriots and supporters and patiently wait for your return.

Beth

Please look after yourself and take the time needed to get back to your usual sparkling form. And thank you for letting us know.

vaultbreaker

Get well soon perun!

Jeffrey Britton

Take your time, don't feel pressured to get something out

Brian Fane

Love your work. Heal quick

Brett Arvidson

Hey man....your feeling bad. I miss last Sunday's posting but I'd rather keep you alive. Quit apologizing and get well. Your too important to let an illness get in the way.

Jeff Hoffman

Gives you more appreciation for his tortured sound guy.

Jeff Hoffman

This is the most positive comment section on the internet.

John Cryer

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Andrew Maltby

I came here to send you a 'I hope you are OK' message but you beat me to it. Get well at your own pace, we'll be waiting for you whenever you are ready.

Greg Tatum

Getting well should be your only worry now. I can wait. Get well soon!

Stephen Richard Vavasseur

Take another week if you need to man; no shame in taking medical leave. Lord knows I haven’t memorized your other videos; time to rectify that

K G

Get well soon.

GubmentChz

Take care of yourself. Google hot toddy - a medicinal beverage that helps me recuperate from similar symptoms. Will be wargaming potential advances of the emu republic in your absence 😂

Woon

You will still be taking my money, sick or not

Aaron Rosenthal

Hope ya get Well Soon! Best Believe might have to come up with some kind of Russian Style Propaganda attempting to "explain your absence"... Hopefully a Ka-52 doesn't "accidentally" drop part of an Assault Shed on your apartment!

LeaderTitan

Feel better man

Gabe

Screw the episode, rest and get well!

b00red

Hoping for a speedy recovery mate!

Niclas Hansemark

Get well soon mate! Also: Happy Midsummer from Europe's northern wastelands (aka. Sweden) 😸

Gus Kendrick

Best wishes Mr upside down PowerPoint man. Hope ya feel well soon

The Internet's #1 Herbert Hoover Stan

Emutopia bioweapon

Stargazer

I think you've more than earned a couple of sick days. Get well soon!

750 Suzuki

We need you long term Perun. Rest up, maybe a two sentence update to the Perun faithful every week while you are recuperating will keep us from being too anxious. Ya know… if you feel happy or if you are just going for a walk. Far better if you skip one or a dozen episodes if we know you are getting well for the long run. Best wishes from Arkansas, USA.

Greg Edwards

Take care of yourself. The quality of your presentations is outstanding. Quality over quantity. I just wish my presentations were as excellent as yours!

RitalinGamer

I feel like you're the sort of person who needs to be told repeatedly: don't worry about us; go freaking relax and take care of yourself.

JJ Sonn

Step 1. Hammock. Step 2. ?… Step 3. You’re cured. Cheers to a speedy recovery.

Jazzlovr

Forget us, get better!!!

Helscreama

Get well soon mate!

Robert Pavelchek

Take care of yourself, please. A healthy Perun is an important logistical foundation.

Todd Weimorts

Your long-term well being is the most important thing here. If we can't go one week without our Sunday ppt, either you are vastly underpaid or we live some pretty pathetic lives. Get well, my friend.

Bob Ogden

Take the time to get better properly please

Hugh Fisher

Please take the time to fully recover. I've watched other YouTubers when they're obviously ill but made a video out of a sense of obligation, and they're never good. No outrage at all from me if you miss a video for health / personal reasons.

Gregory McGuiness

Russian nanbots my friend... nasty

Stefanie Butts

You’re getting sleep. The ultimate outrage. Get well soon mate.

alexander gaitan

I blame Russian bioweapons. Get well soon Perun!

Kristian Reninger

Your deep dives into various topics are always worthwhile. If you reduced your schedule to every other week in order to be healthier, I would be just as happy with your output.

Nathan P Gillispie

Resting up is important!

Florian Herzog

Take care and get healthy first. If you want to release something cool send us a file of some of your slide pictures to make into desktop backgrounds. You’ve been entirely too good about schedule and it’s taken a toll, take a rest

James T Kinney

Take good care, friend. We all look forward to your speedy and complete recovery. All the best!

Karl Stathakis

Holy shit man, rest up and get back to 100% before you get back into the release cadence

Timothée Malengreau

I understand keeping to a schedule is important for the youtube algorithms, but I prefer quality and preserving you well being rather than rushing a video when you're unwell. Get well soon mate!

Mike Winter

We appreciate your commitment to research for the next episode on 'sickness ruins armies' :) but please take your time and get better. No rush, we will all be here whenever you are up to it.

Andreas Höfer

Hey, maybe just relax for a while. 😊

Al McKague

Take it easy, and get well soon!

Kyle E Johnson

I am deeply offended & outraged you're even considering publishing an episode when you've been knocked on your ass this hard. You know damn well you can't rush repairs without risking things breaking even harder. And for your health, that has consequences well beyond your YouTube audience. Take as long as you need to heal up. Speaking as someone with a permanent injury because I didn't let it heal properly: the rest of your life is a long time, 2 weeks is not. Don't publish until you're healthy. Please.

Nomads-of-Korsun

No problem, take all the time you need to recover.

Robert Cheetham

Please take the time you need to recover!

Teresa Benson

Most of us have probably watched them all at least once, but several of them are good enough to watch again with hindsight.

Teresa Benson

Don't push it! We need you well over the long haul.

Jeff Jessen

Hope you are feeling better soon. But take care of yourself first.

AnonymousSvTNrgLbmqTBguGp

Skip the week of 16-22 June entirely if it helps your health. Or even the week after that.

Jesse

Take your time bud and don't feel pressure to rush a video out. Rest up, health comes first.

Peter Sahui

Get well soon!

Nicholas Aubert

Get well. No need to rush the next video. We'll be here when you're back on your feet.

DuckHunter

Get well, don't fight dropbears.

JP Chan

Even Powerpoint Heroes need rest & recovery. Please do NOT rush yours on account of us. Us true fans ain’t going anywhere!

Jarett DeAngelis

man, whatever this is sounds like the freaking worst. we just want you to get better -- if you have to slip a few more days that's completely fine! you could even get REALLY crazy with it ;) and release on a Wednesday or something if that's when you feel up to it. pulling for you out here in Austin, TX, USA.

Brandon Figueroa

Echoing what others have said. Don't risk long term damage. "If you haven't got your health, then you haven't got anything." - Count Rugen

Michael Moynihan

I really look forward to your videos, so you have to take care of yourself and “stick to the plan”- from the movie Megamind “not dying” is the plan 😀 Feel better!

Alexander Reich

Forcing a video now + delaying your healing will lead to more missed videos in the future, thus - as a purely egoistic patron - I demand you rest until you feel well. ;)

Teabag

Rest & accept the slow. You're worth waiting for.

Jessica Fields

Take all of the time you need, Perun. I hope that you are feeling better soon!

Biofoot78

You're in it for the long haul, not a sprint! Take care and rest up, humans are persistence hunters

Moritz v. Looz

Get well and take the time to rest! We can handle the perun withdrawal syndrome for a while longer.

Alec Pearson

Unless you really need the consistency for YT algorithm to maintain income... Then I could use not struggling to find time for a video, while there are 3 games a day during the EUROs. So do not force it for me, and focus on getting better. Or maybe get a one-time substitute/guest voice actor, so your voice can rest? If you really must feed the algorithm. You are a true asset to understanding the mechanics of conflicts, and we need you back to 100%. Get better, touch grass, get a hug, get fresh air... And then hit me again with quality knowledge like an emutopian surprise attack on kiwiland.

Thomas Joynt

Rest up and take your time: we will all still be here. ❤️

TheCaptainTrout

Take your time, hope you recover quickly for your sake

James Jordan

Skip a week mate. Don't risk your health We will be hear waiting

Brian Falter

Please, put these episodes out of your mind and just rest until you feel better. Then rest a few more days, because, let's face it, you are going to try and come back before you should. Resist the urge. We'll all still be here.

Kevin Robert Beckstead

Feel better!

Charles R Hermansen

Skip another week, get back to full strength. If you strain too hard now, you'll relapse, or go long. Heal.

Cap'n Dan Doherty

Get Well Soon, all else can wait.

Wayne Weiler

Feel better soon. Rushing recovery just risks a setback. Avoid the spiral, we can wait.

Wooceanman

Take all the time you need to get better, that's the most important thing.

Beanbag753

Get well soon and don't worry about your patient fans.

Jacob Cohen

Feel better Perun your health is more important than videos! Feel better

Jonathan Werner

Get well my good sir. We all look forward to your return

Beth and Graham Rankin

I would rather you skipped a couple of weeks and rest up, than end up in hospital trying to maintain some schedule.

OldGuardBard

My brother in Svarog, please keep sleeping and recovering for as long as you need

Cosma Nicolau

Take care, videos can wait, health cannot. Thanks again for the awesome work :)

Least Action Jackson

Take as long as you need to get better, man! The highest quality defense economics presentations on the internet can't get made if you're not healthy to make them.

Scott Jacobs

My man, just get better. Our DTs due to the lack of video will PROBABLY go away soon. 😀

Simon Nygaard Jensen

I hope that you get well soon, but don't rush it. The procurement time on a new Perun is waaaay to long for you to waste your self to get a new video out - besides most of us probably still have some unwatched videos of yours in their youtube recommended.

Daniel Ertl

Hope you feel better soon! Don’t worry about it. We’ll still be here whenever the next PowerPoint drops lol

Rob

Rest up brother. Come back when you are ready. We can wait.

Jakub Janovsky

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery!

bill jackson

batter days will come. We wait at your feet!!

WeaponstoMax

Thanks for the update Perun. Please just take it easy for as long as you need, please keep taking the money (you deserve paid sick leave, everyone deserves it), and put your health first. So much sympathy! Edit: Honestly, personally, would prefer to hear you just take like an extra week or two off rather than push to get something out and risk making yourself worse!

JFC

Take all the time you need to get well. The videos can wait ;)

Parker Snyder

I hear that Terra Invicta + CSIS briefings in the background help the immune system, or so I’ve been told. Terra Invicta + U.S. Congressional oversight in the background consequently is a sedative.

pseudonym_here

Dammit, Perun! Stop apologizing and just rest and recover! We understand and aren't concerned about you missing a couple episodes. Get better and we'll hear from you when you feel well.

Duncan Shallcross

Your dedication to the channel and the energy required to keep up a regular schedule (in addition to your day job) is not lost on any of us. Take care of yourself before worrying about the next episode.

Julian Wälde

get well soon!

matt

Take it easy man, hope you get well soon!

Brian Reczek

Sounds like when I had pneumonia I was sleeping 20 hrs a day... Take your time and get better your videos are loved and appreciated but they can wait your health is more important.

WE

Feel better mate! We can wait for you to get better

Bryce Babcock

Get well soon, brother! We all wish you the speediest of recoveries!

David G

Take as long as you need. I’d rather you take the time to get back to full health than hurry to get another great video out. Get well soon, mate

Christian Blandford

Seriously, take the time and get better. Can’t speak for all, but I am happy to wait for you to get better. Your health and happiness do matter even though I don’t personally know you, but I am happy to take that position as a contributor of sorts. Your work is excellent and deserves the care and attention you can give at your best.

Nikolas Kuramochi

Get well soon, but take all the time you need. Health is so precious.

Arun Lal

Get healthy on your timetable - The Free World needs you healthy!

Flavio Briatore

Come back when you're well and ready. Take care mate

Roj Cowles

Heck take as long as you need. Hope you are feeling better soon !!!

Jeremy Cragg

Cheers, get better soon

Scot Harkins

Recovery first. Can take time. Take the time. Hopefully full recovery!

Brad Wendt

Take the time to rest. We don't want you going six feet down under. We can wait.

Scott Ragan

Take your time. Get well.

Ned McNiff

Your health comes first; we can wait.

Flavio Briatore

Please look after yourself, you've done us a great service in educating us about topics we never knew we needed to know for past 2+ years. Your videos are a highlight of my week. But your health and well-being comes first.
