Yeah, we're doomed. Ah well. I agree, we need to put out fires as far as possible. The Red cure will have to wait.

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

The Medic visits Cairo and Baghdad, curing all. Then Manila(Red) and Algiers(Black) are drawn. A couple of cards will need to be discarded.

Discard Lima and Manila. I wouldn't mind being able to bounce to Yellow in a hurry, but we already have that cure and South America is the least of our worries right now.

The world didn't end!
Infection spread in Osaka, putting it on the brink. Also in Santiago, putting it on the brink. And finally in Madrid, putting it on the brink.

The Researcher needs to do some thinking.
The infection discard pile has Madrid, Kinshasa, Lagos, Santiago, Istanbul, and Osaka.
There's still an epidemic left, but if we draw that it's all over anyhow so we might as well assume it won't come up.

I can reach any city on the board with one action left (by burning Washington). I'm thinking about moving to New York and defusing it since I don't have to burn Washington to do that. Maybe someone can come up with something more clever, so I'll just put that idea on simmer for now.

I think Paris is the immediate danger, I think NYC has to be buried deeper in the deck. You could get there without burning a card by hopping to St Petersburg. (Sadly, I can't see a way for you to pass Karachi to the CP on your way through.)

I could defuse Moscow which would allow the CP to cure black on her turn, but that would take all the CP's actions, preventing her from grabbing One Quiet Night.
One Quiet Night might be more important right now.

Have we ever actually drawn Moscow? I think its cubes have all come from outbreaks from Istabul (like St Petersburg and Milan).
I'm pretty sure we drew Paris just before the last epidemic, which means it got shuffled back to the top of the deck at that point. I reckon it has to be coming up either this turn or the next at the latest.

Hmmm. Gud, don't we start drawing more disease cards per turn soon?
