D&D and the rising pandemic

Aussie vax ad. Bit hard hitting you have been warned.

Seen that one.

"Trust a scientist or Facebook idiot who you went to school with and glued their fingers togather in chemistry".

That looks like moderate covid?

Oxygen but no vent. Maybe bipap? I don't know.

I guess it might be showing oxygen failing, and someone who has to be sedated and put on a vent shortly.

Mostly for shock value. They do that here and in Aussie.

Drink driving, smoking and safety type ads could be brutal.

Honestly, I would say that ad is mild in its portrayal of covid in comparison to reality.

Ya. The warning before implied severe covid. Which I believe means sedated in a coma, pronated, with your lungs being inflated by a ventilator. Or worse, ECMO machine.

Moderate covid means you need oxygen to survive.

Mild is anything short of hospitalization with oxygen, which is a huge range.

I guess showing a moderate on the edge of severe generates more empathy.

We chose the better part of valor, and have rescheduled a vacation into March. We will still take some time soon to get away from home, but to visit friends who are vaccinated and not going out much, rather than into hotels and restaurants every day.

My wife is a house call veterinarian. Today, she had someone expecting her to come into their home when everyone in it had tested positive for covid two days ago. One of them was asymptomatic, and the others had "only mild symptoms, really."

Cherry on top: pet in question is bat/cat/dog/deer with COVID.
