Fun With Epidemiology!

This game lets you respond to outbreaks of disease!

the great flu game

Deliver face masks, develop vaccines, and watch verite videos of indeterminately Teutonic scientists and panicky masses as you try to slow the spread of mean-looking red dots across a Risk-like map of the world. Note with equanimity the catastrophic consequences of your misallocations of resources as millions die, and consider the fundamental absurdity of a universe in which such picayune decision-making can lead to such widescale suffering and death. Fun for all ages!

"such picayune decision-making can lead to such widescale suffering and death" Are you new to this planet?

You honestly can't see how certain decisions made in committee et al can have disastrous results in public? Anon, a little introspective might do you some good. What Chachy posted there was accurate. A good example is post-Katrina New Orleans. The levees were not designed to handle what that storm threw at the city. A series of people over the years made decisions, often financial in nature, that led to the design and construction of a levee system that was inadequate to the needs of protecting a city that honestly should never have been built where it is in the first place. The people pulling the purse-strings made their decisions based not on engineering for public safety (as primary concern) but on trivial economics, and the residents of New Orleans suffered the consequences.

David - I think we're all on the same page here with our wry fatalism. Anon just expressed his sarcastically. :)

This is absolutely true and I don't think you are trying just to write a funny article. You write about serious things that are really happening behind our doors.

innovation is very natural and happens in the "real world" as new plants and animals colonize new ecological niches.

I would be aware that as somebody who really doesn’t comment to blogs a lot (in actual fact, this may be my first put up), I don’t think the time period “lurker” is very flattering to a non-posting reader.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in August 2010. A valuable friend told me about Dr. Itua Herbal Center in West Africa. She gave me her phone number and email address. I quickly contacted him to guarantee that his herbal medicines will heal my cancer and I will heal forever I said OK.I ask him what is the healing process, he asks me to pay the fees I did and within 7 working days he sent me the herbal medicine and then he asked me I told my friend Gomez about the herbal drug so that he gave me to go and drink it.So after drinking for two weeks, I was cured, I am so grateful and I promise that I will do it I recommend to anyone who has cancer and that that I am doing.
