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

The Yellow cube situation is kind of awesome. We're going to look like such badasses if we pull this off.
Putting in some quick orders as I'm off to bed:
Cure Red (yay!)
Double move to Moscow
Heal Moscow. Deliver vaccine to Putin's daughter.

PANDEMIC
The Medic cures the Yellow plague, moves to Moscow and kills all the zombies. Then the Medic draws the event card Airlift and Cairo(Black).
Does the Medic want to use the Airlift before infection?

You could airlift the Researcher to Mexico City to clear one yellow cube before moving to Atlanta and curing blue.

What am I thinking?! Yellow is cured. You could move yourself to any tapped-out yellow city and clear all the cubes.

If we win this, I think it will be the most hopeless looking board my team has ever won in Pandemic.

If we lose this, it's 100% going to be because all the useful events showed up one round too late.
Also, if you use the Airlift now, I can grab it and reuse on my turn.

Have a CP in the game and not getting a single event until so late is remarkably unlucky.

It's almost a shame to dilute our awesomeness in such fashion, but if you've got 'em...
Airlift to... Santiago, let's say.
