Tom Horn Invites Players To Enter Egyptian Netherworld

In the 4 months since it was first detected, COVID-19 cases around the world have crossed two million, claiming over 125,000 lives, and counting.

Amidst this global pandemic, healthcare workers are selflessly working around the clock to treat the infected and to contain and prevent the spread of COVID-19. They are our first line of defense in the battle against the virus.

However, this fight is slowly and steadily turning into a “war with no ammo”.

A Critical Shortage of Equipment

Doctors, nurses, and medical workers are reporting a lack of protective gear, including proper masks, medical gowns, and eye gear that serve to protect them from contracting the infection and in turn, spreading it to their families and others.

The situation is dire: hundreds of healthcare workers have been forced into quarantine in the US as the number of cases near 350,000. Nearly 10% of Italy’s COVID-19 cases are healthcare workers themselves.

However, they keep fighting the pandemic so we can stay safe at home. And while at home, some of us are coming up with “novel” ways to support them:

The Crypto-Community Joins the Cause

FreeBitco.in, a leading bitcoin gaming website and free bitcoin faucet, is spearheading an initiative called the “#ThankYouHealthWorkers” campaign.

FreeBitco.in is donating 20% of the House Edge Revenue earned during 3-hour donation windows organized on selective days, to the Coronavirus Relief Fund.

The campaign took off with its first donation window on Tuesday, 31st March, raising almost 0.25 BTC in three hours. The second round went live on Sunday, 5th April, and FreeBitco.in raised 0.30 BTC.

The total proceeds, amounting to 0.53 BTC, have been donated to Direct Relief, an organization that is “coordinating with public health authorities, nonprofit organizations and businesses in the U.S. to provide personal protective equipment and other items to health workers responding to Corona (COVID-19).”

Ten more fundraising rounds have been planned for the coming weeks. Given below are the dates and time slots:

1. Sunday, 19th April: 02:30 – 05:30 UTC
2. Wednesday, 22nd April: 15:30 – 18:30 UTC
