Sounded like meningitis based on "brain infection". It's horrible to treat as it's typically spinal fluid involvement and it does not get replaced regularly. So abx work just take a LONG time...

If you want to do something tangible, go watch some of his videos. Or, just let them run in the background if you don't have time. YouTube has become a large part of his income.

A great idea, especially as I don't think he has a Patreon or GoFundMe set up to more directly support.

Looks like Hoovie from Hoovie's Garage is guest hosting on Magnante's channel for a bit to keep it up and running.  Super classy move.

It looks like he will start doing YT again in January:

Wow! The internal pessimist inside me feared for the worst. That's a rough thing to go through.

That's great news.  I'm not sure I understand what the connection would be between dehydration and old back injury to encephalitis, though.
