Ahem... 6D *will* kill every mundane on the planet: at best your roll
your three dice and stage it down to Serious, more likely you keel
over. In the early stages of the pandemic, medicine doesn't help - oh,
I'm sweaty; I'll go home from work early and take some Nyquil :)

In the first twelve hours the virus has a chance to outlive its host,
but its not likely to do so after that. Hmm, VITAS is looking more and
more like Ebola. It'd be a great weapon for a really nasty Troll/Dwarf
group to get their hands on....
