VIRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pinky]

Just for fun, I'll log my actions and see how it plays. Realistic mode only, none of that pussy stuff.

Virus: homosexuality.

Starting location: Brazil, South America.

Starting Symptom: Sneezing.

Starting Resistance: Heat I.

Bought Airborne, Rodent, and Insect transmissions, in that order, to beef up my infection paths.

Acquired Moisture Resistance I & II, and bought Waterborne. Infection paths set to maximum.

Brazilian water source immediately becomes tainted. The number of infected Brazilians nearly doubled from 2500 to over 4500 in a few hours. Lethality bar is at zero, Infectivity bar is low but the effects are promising, and visibility is extremely low - after all, who'd suspect any danger from something that looks like a simple cold or allergy?

Bought Cold Resistance and unlocked Tier 2 symptoms.

Infection is almost at 300,000 of the same day that homosexuality infected the Brazilian water source. The virus crossed the border into Peru and Argentina. Bought Diarrhea symptom: raised lethality and visibility by a small bit, but also got a good infection boost out of it.

Into the seventh day. Over twelve million people are infected across South America, most of them Brazilians. In a stroke of luck the infection hits the Middle East: the center of the Eurasian continent, which also borders North Africa. Bought Drug Resistance I, II & III to stall the forces of the medical community. At the end of day seven there's almost thirty million infected and Brazil begins handing out face masks.

The Middle East water source is tainted. The infection rate there soars. Eastern Europe becomes the first non-infection nation to take action by closing their airports, followed by New Zealand who closes their national borders. Since NZ is an island state they don't actually border anywhere else, so that's a pointless move.

Brazil begins exterminating rodents, shuts down public transit, and begins handing out bottled water. Too little too late, I think, because half of their 200 million population is already infected.

Day eight. Japan closes their airport, which raises my alarm. If their harbor is also shut down before the infection goes there then they're effectively immune. I sell Diarrhea in the hope of lowering global awareness. I still have 23 evo points in the bank.

A slew of actions take place. East Europe, Russia, North Africa, India, China and Mexico become infected. Brazil enacts marshal law and sets curfews, close their borders and shipyard and airport, they begin using pesticides and are forced to shut down their hospital and start burning the dead (none of whom were killed by the virus) to slow the spread of infection. Some other government somewhere may have done something, but I can't be sure because the list for global news is short and cannot be scrolled.

North Africa, the Middle East, Russia, India and China all have infected water supplies. The infection-free Indonesian island chain shuts down their airports, while the Middle East takes a more aggressive approach in the face of unprecedented infection rates.

Then, because I am a fucking idiot, I close the tab to the game and put and end to my quest for global human extermination.
