Game Plague inc.
View attachment 1239
I bet that if my parents would have the ‘normal’ regular flu ? (not a cold), then at least one of them would die. As so many others in that elderly group. The resistance as of a certain age is just too weak. Luckily they get a yearly shot, but even that’s no guarantee...
For those that don't know: Plague Inc is a game where you play as a disease. Your goal is to exterminate human kind. You have to balance between being lethal and being infectious. Too lethal and you could wipe yourself out (by running out of hosts before you can spread to other countries), not lethal enough and health authorities could find a cure before you succeed.
One of the hardest place to wipe out was Greenland, because it does not share a land border, and only has one port, which once it is shut down, means the disease can no longer spread to Greenland, and you (the disease) would lose.
So if you see references of moving to Greenland, this is why.
As for the actual real life virus, I think so far it's a huge overreaction.
