PANDEMIC

The blue plague is starting to look like it may be COVID. Anyhow, after I go on my great tour of curing red death, I can move right into North America and go after COVID. Of course, that's quite awhile in the future, but all of those COVID bombs are cities in the current infection discard pile.

So, per the plan the Researcher proposed, I head to Baghdad (1st action) to shuttle to Shanghai (2nd action), discard a yellow card to share knowledge with the Researcher on red (3rd action), and cure red (4th action) on this turn. Then, on the Researcher's next turn, they would share knowledge with me on yellow before proceeding with the rest of their turn, and when my turn comes around again, I would cure yellow. Is that right? It does seem to make sense from a yellow-not-being-a-threat-right-now standpoint.

I'm down with this plan.

I like it. Looking forward to doing some massive red death curing.

Curing of Massive Red Death is so in this year.

By the way, on your turn, what do you think would be best - empty out the Beijing-Seoul-Tokyo nexus, or leave Beijing to its own devices in favour of clearing San Francisco?

PANDEMIC

I like clearing out all of Beijing-Seoul-Tokyo since SF is in the infected discard pile and we're not too far from the last epidemic.

I advise you to decline Prince Prospero's invitation to the masquerade ball at the abbey.

I endorse this plan.

It will be pretty awesome to no longer be at war with Eastasia.

We've had two epidemics so far, correct?

PANDEMIC

That is correct!
