    There should be an update to that Pandemic game that readjusts the way the world reacts to the player's disease based on what we have seen from the spread of covid.

    Or someone should make an entirely new one.

        Against the communist countries too? Not convinced.

            I feel like their reaction is basically Madagascar . Except they represent a much larger proportion of the global population and the potential spread.

              This is why starting in South Africa is actually a pretty good strat, it guarantees infection of Madagascar and the UK, and getting the UK is usually good enough to get Greenland.

      On plauge Inc there is a antivaxxer mode, where the people don't take the cure and protest against it, and don't practice basic hygiene like washing hands, etc

      They should make a mode called Containment and the thing people and trying to stop the spread of is communism and it’s your job for the infectious ideas of class consciousness to spread amongst the people

        So in order to win the game the player would have to become a fascist and literally exterminate all the reds?

        And it still wouldn't stop more reds from occurring because of the material contradictions. It would just be a temporary victory.

          No the point of Plague Inc is to infect everyone. If you’re playing as communism, the end game is global communism. Although I’m not sure if the “misinformation” mode also involves killing all humans

        They have had sneezing/spitting contests in red state bars during the pandemic.

      They actually did exactly that. I heard an interview with the creators on NPR or something.
