Sounds like a great plan, and it will clear out HCM city completely.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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

Oh, of course, even better. Actually... Bangkok is now just as bad as Cairo. The Dispatcher could clear out HCM City and Bangkok completely for the same effort as HCM City and Cairo, and would get rid of more cubes. Is that worth considering? Cairo would be at greater risk of spreading than Bangkok, once Vietnam is cleared, but we'd save the Black card if they go local.

I mean, it's six-of-one whether Cairo or Bangkok will turn out to be the one we should have cleared. On the other other hand, it is about time to start saving Black cards. What do our card-counters say?

I think it's even money on the chances of Cairo or Bangkok being the one that comes up first. That makes Bangkok sound like the better deal.

All righty, then:
Treat all of HCM City
Move to Bangkok
Treat all of Bangkok
Dispatch the Medic to Atlanta
What's the story, morning glory?

I think we've burned at least three Black cards already, so saving some would be good.
Cairo and Bangkok have equal odds of resurfacing after the next epidemic. Once you clear Vietnam, if Bangkok has an outbreak, it won't threaten anywhere else. Cairo may threaten Algiers if things go badly.
If we have enough time to get the Blue cure (i.e. to the Medic's next turn), then Black will be our only real hotspot left. (Plus, possibly, wherever the next epidemic hits). At that point, things start to feel quite manageable.

Huh, we've almost completely eradicated Red. That's rather nice.

PANDEMIC
The Dispatcher dispatches hundreds of local health care workers to distribute the red death cure throughout Ho Chi Minh City. Then she takes a late bus to Thailand and in one night in Bangkok, she organizes the infrastructure to spread the cure. The city didn't know what the city was getting. With the red death wiped out in Vietnam and Thailand, she arranges a charter flight for the Medic to Atlanta on a Honda HA-420 HondaJet.
The Researcher draws Miami (Yellow) and Chennai (Black). Meanwhile, red death continues to hang on, spreading in Shanghai. Zombies also start to overrun Mumbai which is now on the brink.

A+ comment; everything but Yul Brynner.
Right! Zombieland is worsening; in addition to Cairo and Mumbai, Algiers may not be much further away either. However, nothing's going over the edge until we see the next epidemic, and we're on the clock to get these cures too. Anyone have concerns with me spreading sunshine to the Scientist and raining on the Medic's parade?
