Most people don't die. A few people out of a large total number might be a lot people, but relatively speaking 99% of the party crowd won't die. 90% of them won't even experience a serious case - and that's of those that even catch it in the first place. Death/serious cases below the age of 60...

A super bug could arise anywhere at any time. Even if we reach heard immunity and beyond, it could still arise in any of those few who could not get vaccinated or whose vaccination failed at the critical moment. That's no ground to keep the current restrictions forever. At one point C19 will...

Tell that to the german government (who also were vehemently against any requirement to wear masks at all for app. the first 2 months)

According to the german Corona Schutzverordnung which was done during our third wave, they are insufficient and you do no longer comply with the Maskenpflicht if you are wearing one and will be treated as if wearing no mask at all as far as penalties go. And how quickly the messages boards...

That was the official stance until November (I think that was November). Since then FFP2 is mandatory and the community mask that were hailed with exactly your argumentation for the last 9 months were decried everywhere as useless excercise

It is. But it shows that most people only follow rules because those are the rules and happily leave the masks off as soon it's no longer mandatory. Do you know any example of a significant large part of people wearing masks somwhere it's not required? Everywhere in europe where it's no longer...

Also for the majority of people who are yet wearing masks it's clear that they do it only as a chore they must do rather than something they want to do simply by watching how they don/doff them and handle them inbetween. Graping them full frontal with the full hand and crumpling them into a...

That depends entirely on where you draw the line for "considerable". Long/Post Covid has no clear definition and reported high rates (up to 20%) are only with those definitions that include a broad range of symptons that are not very severe and/or not that long. There are definitions that...

BTW in German (and AFAIK all of EU) it's now the official recommendation to Mix vaccines. So if you got Astra at your first shot, you will get Moderna or Pfizer for your second

It's all a matter of risk perception. Even with Delta the risk for healthy adult below a certain age is not that high. So it comes down to how high you rate the risk that you may not be as healthy as you think you are (and an infection will be bad due to a hidden factor you were not aware that...

I always thought the change to become reptile happened to Kobolds because of one artist/designer looking at an old black and white picture from an earlier edition and misstook the scale armor the Kobold wore on this picture for the Kobold actually having scales

I remember at least one, yes. But that still means that deities were at least superficially checking every follower requesting spells. Because clerics without that feat would be denied refreshing their repertoire as soon as they change to a wrong alignment.

Depends on the edition. Pre-4e they were. At least as a quick check whenever you requested to renew your granted powers. If they found you lacking at that point, no new spells for you

To stop as in "they're currently rampaging or in the process of getting ready to rampage"? That's at least neutral if not good. To stop as in "they are not currently rampaging and don't seem to prepare for it anytime soon, but let's be safe"? That's most likely evil, maybe neutral (depending on...

In Europe there's argument that mixing might even be better for resulting protection, due to it causing recognition of a wider range of spike proteins. AFAIK there's not yet officially recommend to mix but it's already not seen as being problematic

Theoretically any lemure could become the next lord of nessus, pratically most will never advance very far. And while they are on the bottom, anyone above them is being a dick to them. Likewise on Celestia it's not that different in regards to advancement, but everybody above you is...

That's the point. It is not supposed to be a punishment. Good hasn't any higher authority than Evil or Law or Chaos. Good may claim to judge and condemn people, but there's no cosmic truth behind it. It's just Good being too full of itself. No overreaching authority stated that all should be...

Hell, all of the lower planes actually, are not a punishment in D&D. At least not intentionally. The planes merely collect likeminded people so that in death they can continue to further the principles they followed while alive. If you chose to live a LE live, you are send where you can...

Do they? Your five rules seem to describe most D&D world perfectly, maybe except for rule 5

How is that so unacceptable? It's hard to discuss without bringung up real world, but there's one major world religion that sees this as the most desireable state that can be reached.
