The Beta Event
Welcome to our very first event in Swords of Legends Online.
In this event you have a chance to stay healthy, be a role model and earn yourself cool rewards at the same time. The start coincides with the launch of our first beta on 21st May and ends together with the second beta on 8th June – but what’s it all about?
WASH YOUR HANDS!
During the beta phases, you’ll find a series of Clean Wash Basins in the world of Swords of Legends Online. Keep your heroes’ hands clean, and you’ll receive the Guardian of Health buff, which reduces your incoming damage in PvE by 5%.
Wash those hands on three separate days, and you’ll receive an Anti-Epidemic Stamp each time. The three stamps can be combined to unlock a special avatar and avatar frame.
MASKED PANDA
All players who unlock the avatar and frame will also get a special cuddly and responsible mount on game release: the Masked Panda!
And those rewards from the beta phase will of course remain accessible on release.

And then simple cloth masks don't help that much against COVID, either. Being outdoors, on the other hand, makes a huge difference, especially in the sunlight, and far more so than masks and hand washing added together. So the picture accidentally showed a behavior that protects you from COVID more than either of the two things that they specifically pointed out. Or two behaviors if there's no one else nearby, as you can't catch COVID when there's no one else around to catch it from.
That looks much like a parody event, but it's not April 1.
It looks somewhat better than a ventilator mask and the related collection of tubes I expect.
Yes, yes, a fictional game could have some other fictional disease that affects pandas, and such that cloth masks are highly effective at preventing the disease. But it would be dumb to create a fictional disease whose only meaning in the game is that a certain panda mount wears masks.
I suspect the rarity of the occurrence doesn't matter much to those afflicted in that manner. It was warned about prominently and frequently, so may have not been all that extreme in rarity either. It's not rare enough, at any rate.
It make sense, from the perspective on wanting the mask prominently displayed. It is more about symbology anyway, not depicting realistic mask use.
Any Doctor or Health Care Professional who says otherwise is being paid or played. The masks DO NOTHING to protect against ANY virus on Earth. Also, why is Q even mentioned here?

Once upon a time....
Even the common surgical masks, which are worn by the doctors and nurses in the OR to minimize the risk of infecting the patient - not the other way around - will stop the virus containing gross droplets.
It isn't about protecting yourself (although it does some of that as well as it minimizes the risk of you touching an infected surface and then touching the skin around your mouth and nose) its about protecting others and the environment in public places from you.

even more gross
Everything you said is false. You have been misled and lied to by those who should have had our best interests at heart.

I know! I'll go with the chief cheeto recommendations and just stock up on anti malaria drugs because the CDC and WHO are ignorant and corrupt liars but the cheeto and random internet guys are not.
Stick to games guys. You suck at everything else.
PS: Once upon a time I was a medical lab tech and yes, microbiology was part of my training. I worked in the Immunohematology department of the largest hospital in Vancouver for a few years. And yes, I wear masks.
You do you though, Karen.
