today i learned that taiwan's cdc draws personified versions of diseases + character profiles to raise awareness
their character profiles detail how the artistic choices relate to the disease!
example: plague's concept is based on grim reapers and her hat has the masks of the doctors she defeated. you survive if she pulls the rose tarot card.

for rabies, his concept is that he's a conductor who controls and destroys the victim's mind through music. the orchestra members are people who are under his control, with masks of animals that are common vectors.
hepatitis is either a boy band or an e-sports team. each member represents a different type of hepatitis.

they also made measles an international model and influenza a soundcloud rapper... not sure the reasoning behind it

syphilis is depicted as a shepherd, because the name of the comes from a poem about a shepherd cursed with disease. ignore the embroidery on the corset...

also i dont know if this needs to be said but like ... obviously these diseases are all very serious and have real consequences for people in the world so ... just keep that in mind i guess and yeah the concept is quite questionable so the thread may self destruct <3

i lied let me not leave off dengue and chikungunya fever... both of their designs are based on mosquitos, which are the common vector for spread.
