  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use Game::Covid19;

  # DESCRIPTION
  
  Game::Covid19 is an implementation of a DND-type game that is based on CDC data and was posted by Stephen Richard Watson at:

  ```
  
  It exports two subroutines: `play` and `death-rate`.
  
  # SUBROUTINES
  
  ## play
  
  ```
  play(age => 64);
  
  ```
  
  The `play` subroutine will play the game. You need to at least specify the `age` named parameter. It will return your final constitution, with `0` indicating death. The following named parameters are optional:
  
  ### constitution
  
  ```
    constitution => 80,
  
  ```
  
  A value of 1..100 indicating the state of your constitution, with `100` indicating fully healthy. Defaults to `100`.
  
  ### mask
  
  ```
    :mask
  
  ```
  
  A Boolean indicating whether or not you're wearing a mask. Defaults to `False`.
  
  ### distancing
  
  ```
    :distancing
  
  ```
  
  A Boolean indicating whether or not you're socially distancing. Defaults to `False`.
  
  ### verbose
  
  ```
    :!verbose
  
  ```
  
  A Boolean indicating whether verbose play output is wanted. Defaults to `True`.
  
  ## death-rate
  
  ```
    death-rate(age => 64);
  
  ```
  
  The `death-rate` sub will run the game many times and record how many times the game resulted in death, and use that to calculate a death-rate as a percentage.
  
  It takes the same named parameters as the `play` subroutine. Additional named parameters are:
  
  ### times
  
  ```
    times => 10000
  
  ```
  
  The number of times the game should be played. Defaults to 10000.
