At the beginning of 2020, a version of Yvonne Hartman from Pete's World, (AUDIO: Poker Face, The Empty Hand, et al.) released a public broadcast where she warned the populace of the "unprecedented times" ahead, telling them to self-isolate, or there would be consequences. (WC: Incoming Message) The Thirteenth Doctor also sent a similar message from inside a wardrobe, telling those who recieved the message to know that they could "get through this" even if things looked bad, to keep spirits high by telling jokes, to be kind, as well as to look out for friends and family, to listen to doctors, and finally to stay strong, as she promised to be back "very soon". (WC: Message from the Doctor)
