1.) Generally speaking, the game will avoid referencing real life sociopolitical upheaval. While this will be a dark story for certain, the focus here is on fantastical horror rather than real life trauma. As such, players should assume that COVID-19 never happened in the world of Apocalypse How.
2.) For the sake of clarity and consistency in the setting, each character can ultimately serve and be granted power by only one patron Entity. Characters can of course take it upon themselves to engage in actions that could feed other patrons, and each avatar can naturally have their own approach that lends a different flavor to their efforts, but at the end of the day each powered character will serve only one Entity.
