Why do D&D Players take coronavirus seriously?
Description (Dublin Core)
A poster humourously referencing how players of tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons, which involve rolling dice, are acutely aware that while statistically 2% sounds are though it would not come off often, the way the dice roll may mean you get "2%" more frequently than average. It also refers to a "constitution score" which is a number added to a dice roll to determine if a player resists pain, poison etc. These concepts are applied to the statistics and response to coronavirus to make a point regarding those who don't take the virus seriously.
It reads:
"Why do / D&D PLAYERS take coronavirus seriously? / We've learned two things from experience: / A 2% chance of death is NOT a low as it sounds / No matter how high your Constitution score there's ALWAYS a chance yo'll fail your saving throw. / Coronavirus: It's Not a Game."
