Has anyone else played the game Rachel Maddow talked about?

The object of the game is to control a flu pandemic. It's cool ... but a bit scary. It spreads so quickly! I'm doing a lousy job of saving the world, LOL!

4. I Saved the World Somehow

I assume I got lucky. Very intriguing game, with the embedded videos and the eerie music/sound effects. I think deploying research teams early might be of help.

5. You saved the world??

I'm impressed! :toast:

I keep killing everybody, LOL! I'll have to try deploying the research teams earlier. Thanks for the tip! :hi:

7. No Prob!

I did indeed save the world on my first try, with the most difficult (five skulls/death's heads of difficulty) pandemic. I probably just got lucky, but there's no question that the research teams helped. And I just ignored the money factor and spent wildly. The game doesn't announce it to you, but you (logically) get more money as time goes by.

6. Oh damn ... I'm STILL killing everybody!

:cry:

Hey guys ... never, EVER put me in charge of containing a virus and stopping a pandemic! :dunce:
