    Good game, maybe Im missing something here though, it's really hard to control the virus and then keep in budget to get rid of it!! Maybe I'm just over reacting as soon as it appears and bringing in complete lockdown, which is great, but then no money left to cure it!! :eek:

    This is a game made by the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam so its very well done and quite accurate.
