Ah shoot, I did that real quick to squeeze in a turn while working. Didn't look over my options very well.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Maybe if we (finally) get an event card we'll find another option. Failing that, you'll still be able to cure both Taipei and Osaka on your next turn.

All right then. I will:
Double Move to Madrid
Double Cure Madrid.
I support having Contingency Orders for event cards.

After moving and curing, you have drawn Moscow(Black) and Kolkata(Black). You'll need to discard one card before the infecting takes place.

I believe we're unlikely to need Johannesburg so I'll go ahead and dump them.

Oh, and if you jump to Milan and we converge on St Petersburg, I think a Black cure may be closer than we anticipated.

Johannesburg has been discarded. Then plague spread in Istanbul which resulted in an outbreak, leaving central Asia... suboptimal.
Plague also spread in Mexico City which, well it isn't good, but doesn't pose any particular problem.
I think the top priority needs to be killing zombies in central Asia. If Algiers comes up, it's the end of the world.

Ugh. OK, how about this:
Medic: Grab two Red, teleport to Osaka, cure Osaka
Researcher: Teleport to Milan, move to Istabul, treat Constantinople
CP: Move to Algiers and treat Algiers
As useful as the Medic would be in Asia Minor, they have no cards to get there and Osaka-Taipei is also pretty dangerous.

I think that's the best we can plan for right now. Medic just doesn't have the cards to help with Algiers. We might want the Researcher to treat Algiers though. Istanbul just got infected so infection won't hit there unless there's an epidemic.
With any luck the Medic will get an event card and we might have more options. I mean, one has to show up at some point.

Hmmm, that's a point. Only thing is, there's no direct line from Milan to Algiers. It'd be one treatment in Algiers vs 2 in Istanbul. bt, any thoughtzzzzzz?
