Well, my mom just called to let me know my brother was admitted to the hospital with COVID. The brother who posts Facebook memes everyday that he’s not getting the shot, gently caress Biden, Bill Gates will control us with the vaccine etc.

Of course he’s not vaccinated. I’m angry and scared all at once. My niece just got married too, nice way to enjoy her honeymoon.

A milk run assignment like this gives them experience with comms, securing a perimeter, planning the operation, managing civilians, etc

And it sets that up in everybody’s mind as a thing that happens. The guys playing soldier will forever know that they are the guys who play soldier at stuff like this, the people in the crowd accept that these guys will be there in the future because they were there last time too, the cops and the media and everybody else you would hope would be looking at that wont see anything any more, because it’s all normal. How can it be weird if it happens every time? That’s just what we do on Sundays, a fake doctor gives out fake medical exemptions so that kids can get sick while volunteer tough guys play special forces around the perimeter, just like every Sunday, quit worrying about it.

Yikes. Can see them going the rest of their lives convinced their family member was wrongly-denied the life-saving ivermectin treatment, much easier to believe that than admitting their own poor choices killed them. And if they honestly think hospital staff purposefully withheld vital medicine and got their relative killed...

Maybe consider administering apple sauce as a placebo going forward.

You control the game with mouse click. You can move the screen with WASD or ARROW KEYS

You can click the little characters for options

you can click walls to add Pro/Anti vax posters

You can click stations to move them around

Let me know what you guys think! I have no "end game" in mind for all this, so I'm not sure if I'll go further or just call it a day after I add a few more features.

NOTE it will probably bug out and crash here and there I'm sure.
UI thing: Clicking, holding, then moving the mouse over a button and letting go is fairly unconventional design. I'd recommend having the menu open on click and then click again to select an option.

Are vaccines immediately effective in the game or do they take a few ingame weeks to provide defense?

I opted to make them immediately effective just due to the how long you'd have to wait in game otherwise

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully he lives. Hopefully he hasn't helped convince other people to not get a vaccine with his misinformation though. Social media is a disease

Edit: didn't even think of the wedding. Yeah did your niece get tested before going on a honeymoon that hopefully didn't involve flying?

He’s full in on the Trump train and I feel like his posts are in an echo chamber but yeah, social media is loving worthless.

The wedding was a small outdoor wedding (I didn’t go but saw pictures) and no masks that I could see. I’m pretty sure my niece is just doing their honeymoon local, probably camping. They’re all pretty rural but she isn’t right wing like my brother has become and she got the shot.

Most people I've known that go this route go and get a DO and not an MD. I'm sure there are good DO's out there but most experience I've had with them in real life is laughable. One of my relatives got his DO after he decided he didn't want to be a pharmacist anymore but didn't want to go through the effort to go back to school that awarded him his pharmacy degree. Instead he went to a DO school that was pretty much a joke. I just remember him talking about how much virtual schooling he was doing and how almost never had to be in class or in person. Then he got in some dispute with the place he was doing his residency at because they paid for part/most of his school with the agreement he would practice there (it was some really rural hospital) and he did but also moonlighted as a pharmacist too which violated their employment agreement. Now he practices medicine in the most racist place in America and is a massive chud.

Any other DO I've met is similarly either 1) Chud (sticking it to the MDs and their liberal monopoly on medicine), 2) natural medicine quack, 3) too stupid to cut it as an MD, or 4) all of the above.

Trump’s bullshit White House doctor that said he was in the best physical condition of anyone he’d ever examined (NOT Dr Sexcake) that he tried to make Surgeon General was a DO.

Called ambulance for chest tightness, palpitations and dizziness. ECG was fine, blood pressure and pulse elevated, but not emergency levels. Ambulance left. Two days later, dizziness and left arm buzzing, called ambulance again, same thing, blood sugar also fine, but opted for the ER this time. Got blood works, neurologic test (smile, touch nose, heel to knee, etc.), a COVID test, and wore a monitor for about six hours, nothing of note and also negative for COVID, although some dude in the room was running a fever and on oxygen and got wheeled off to the infectious disease ward, so that might change in the coming days, although I did my best to keep the mask on the whole time. If he was positive he'll definitely kill the unmasked fat lady in her 70s who had fallen down an escalator at the airport. Most of the staff didn't wear PPE or did so inconsistently.

Also weed suddenly fucks me up in a bad way now and I still don't know what's wrong. What a fun week. Just wonderful.

Then they'd just start asking questions about the dosages and the schedule. The sorts of dumbasses demanding that family members be given ivermectin in the hospital believe that it's a miracle cure that can't fail. So, if somebody dies while taking it, it must have been given to them wrong (yes, this makes no sense, but this is how people like that think). Same poo poo with sovcits and their legal magic words bullshit. It's desperate people clinging to a fantasy that they want to believe is true, and it's easier to believe that somebody hosed up than it is to believe that the fantasy is untrue.
