I dont know if you can win at the game.
I just won against the Kai virus with less than 5000 deaths worldwide. It's very possible to win, though it does seem excessively scripted, and the
news events don't correlate to the game very well. I saw riots about "planned measures" in countries that I had performed no actions in, I was
given a video telling me that my stockpiled anti-virals might not be effective even though I had never stockpiled any, and once I was given the
"virus contained, no new cases reported in days" report came, I still managed to get a couple hundred thousand new cases over several days before it
gave me the victory event.
Hint: Most actions can be performed multiple times for a stacking effect.
I'll try against the other viruses.
UPDATE:
268 deaths vs Golden virus. Winning strategy seems to be to simply wait for the outbreak, then dispatch all three research teams and max heathcare and
research to the infected area, then max facemasks and "inform civilians" in that region, and all adjacent regions to minimize the spread. Wait for
the first death, then close down markets and schools. Then sit back and wait until you win.
UPDATE:
I've now beat all five viruses. Strategy is basically the same, though it helps a lot to inform people andpass out masks before the outbreak begins.
If you're fast, you can inform and give masks to almost the entire planet before the first infection.
UPDATE:
...umm...ok. Out of curiosity I just went back and tried again against the Kai virus, and did absolutely nothing the entire game. A vaccine was
developed anyway, and I "won" after 33 days with ~17 million dead. By doing absolutely nothing.
