Oh, and the Dispatcher has Cairo so she can get the Scientist another black card on her turn. If the Scientist draws a black card, then we can win if we can survive until the Scientist's next turn. I'm glad we still have One Quiet Night.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

Drinking two dozen Red Bulls, the Scientist stays up for 72 hours straight working feverishly on a cure for the yellow plague and succeeds. She then hops onto a station to station shuttle to Baghdad (if you can call Shanghai to Baghdad a shuttle). There, she takes a midnight train to Aleppo where she boards an EgyptAir Airbus 320neo to Cairo. Once free from the airport she meets a guy and buys a bucket of pig's brains and fertilizer and constructs a crude bomb in a dilapidated house. Using the pig's brains as bait, she lures in a zombie hoard and blows the place to kingdom come. Then the casually walks to a hotel to get a good night's sleep.
The Scientist then draws New York (Blue) and Mexico City (Yellow). Meanwhile, Zombies appear in Tehran and yellow plague spreads in Johannesburg, putting it on the brink.

My plan is to steal a blue card from the researcher, cure blue (which should also clear Atlanta because of Medic superpowers), then move to New York which will clear it. I could also clear Beijing instead of New York which would leave me closer to a station for quick travel. Though with the Dispatcher, that may not be a big deal. If I draw a black card, then it would probably be up the Dispatcher to put me in the right spot.

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

I vote New York. NYC could reappear after the next epidemic, Beijing will only do so if it is the next epidemic.
Plus, after this, I think Zombieland is the game, and from New York you could walk there.

Good point. I keep forgetting the Beijing situation is purely a product of outbreaks.

The Medic consults with the Researcher about COVID in St. Petersburg and makes a critical deduction resulting in the cure for COVID. The cure is quickly distributed in Atlanta, being the home of the CDC and all. The Medic then rents a car and drives to New York. There he explains the cure so well that it literally takes no time to rid the city of disease.
Then he draws Milan (Blue) and Montreal (Blue). Meanwhile, the red death reappears in Tokyo and the yellow plague emerges in Santiago.

Well, that wasn't very dramatic.
