'Create your own flu pandemic' game

FANCY causing and curing your very own flu pandemic?
Now is your chance - boffins have launched the first ever online flu game .

Armed with two billion Euros, you decide how much to fork out on vaccination programmes, antivirals and school closures. Saddled with the hefty task of clearing the planet of the deadly virus, you choose countries which areas to save, and which to sacrifice.

The site is the brainchild of virologist Ab Osterhaus of the University of Rotterdam, and flu experts have heaped praise on the game.

John Oxford, professor of virology at Queen Mary's School of Medicine London, said: "It's a wonderful idea - both experts and the general public should try it."

It's just mind boggling the stuff they come out with! So now they can rope in kids and adults, brainwashing them into believing the vaccine is our saviour from certain death?! Click on the link to be directed to the actual game, I'm at work at the moment, so its blocked for me.
