Resource of the Week - The Great Flu

The Great Flu is a simulation designed by Erasmus MC Medical Center Rotterdam to show how a pandemic spreads. As the leader of the fictitious "World Pandemic Control," players must try to control a flu pandemic and prevent a worldwide spread of the disease by selecting actions (i.e. distribute face masks, close markets, isolate infected people) and distributing research teams. The goal is to contain the virus before it becomes a worldwide pandemic and to minimize the number of people infected or killed by the virus.
