It’s been awhile since I’ve used Acrobat but I seem to remember I could toggle between highlighting selected text and drawing a highlight area on the page. I seem to remember I could go hog wild w/ the area, fill/no fill/density, shape (circle/rectangle/oval), color, border thickness, real time suck stuff.
re: Off season RSV in Australia… it also spread to us here in New Zealand when we briefly opened our border to them, and has subsequently overloaded our paediatric ED wards…

Someone needs to make a Vincent Racoon-Yellow plushie. Complete with the blue glasses. Would also be a cute image for a mug.
