It’s standard Skill System FE8, except there’s a few notable differences:
Every weapon in the game now poisons on contact.
Poison’s minimum damage has been quadrupled, from 1 HP to 4 HP.
Restore staves, now called “Modern Medicine”, now require A Staves.
Antitoxins are now called “Quarantine Juice”.
The above two items are now absent from every regular shop in the game. The only way to get them is by either killing enemies that drop them, stealing them, or by visiting overworld secret shops.
They are also significantly more expensive, so don’t count on being able to load up on them and still afford good weapons.
Nosferatu and the Runesword now grant Sol and poison, rather than having the original Nosferatu effect, because you can’t have them both poison and sap HP. Eclipse grants Savage Blow, and Stone is completely unchanged. Any weapon that normally poisoned now innately has Poison Strike.

This just seems in exceptionally poor taste given that people are… ya know… dying from this… every day? Like right now?
Even if something like this doesn’t explicitly break the rules, I’d argue that something like this could deserve not to exist on FEU getting back to the “if it’s in very poor taste” argument.
Not sure if it’s an argument at all, but Mekkah did a Coronavirus challenge with FE7 that effectively was just “units can’t stand next to each other or else they can’t be deployed next chapter” and seemed to be a half-joke half awareness raising thing since it was offering advice and such.
So, I do think there is a place for the theme, but I agree the presentation is stepping on a line and teasingly hovering a leg over the other side.
