Yay blue!
Given the board, and that no one is collecting yellow at the moment, I'm thinking my discard should be one of the yellows (with the tentative plan for my next turn being discarding the other yellow to go to and build in Manila to eventually pass that card to the Medic and give us a station in the red zone). Obviously a lot can happen in the meantime, but given that I will be starting on a station, I should probably take advantage of that to build somewhere on my next turn.
What do people think?

You need to throw out two cards at this point, so assuming you keep One Quiet Night, you'll have the five Blue cards and one card for travel. It probably doesn't matter which one you keep in that case. Maybe Manila if it looks like we need it for the Red cure, or Jo'burg - if an emergency arises around one of your cards' cities, Jo'burg will be the hardest to reach by other means. (I lean towards keeping Manila, I think. Especially since you can jump to anywhere with any card if that's needed.)

Ah, right, I wasn't reading closely enough, two cards. This is sort of the problem with the Ops Expert collecting cards for curing purposes.
In any case, I say
Discard both yellows
So let it be written, so let it be done.
I will be a little bit delayed as I will be preoccupied with moving the board to the new software.

No worries, Gud. Thanks for all your work on the move!

Things seem pretty stable board-wise. So I'm back!
Yellow cards discarded. The Yellow Doom spreads in Miami, and Zombies break containment in Mumbai putting the city on the edge.
The situation:

I guess it's my turn. I could treat Algiers once, burn Chennai, move to Mumbai, and treat it once to give us some insurance against an epidemic.
Or.... I could treat Algiers once, burn Seoul, move to Hong Kong and let the QS take Chennai on her turn.
PANDEMIC
Given that no one else has ANY Black cards, I'm inclined to say save Chennai and get it to QS. Note that I can burn Bangkok or Airlift and clear Mumbai on my turn, which is next.
I think that makes a lot of sense.
