“In an effort to further raise awareness, Dutch researchers have created a game that challenges players to control a new pandemic. The game begins with images of bedridden patients and graveyards from the 1918 Spanish flu. As the head of the fictitious "World Pandemic Control," players pick a flu strain, and then monitor that strain's spread around the world.”
