Algiers popped off last round, so it's safe at least until the next infection. (I think we'd have time for the Medic to claim the Researcher's Seoul and take out Algiers too.) Mumbai could go at any point though.
We of the quarante like the idea of you popping over to Mumbai for buildage and curation. I think that'd mean every current danger point on the map would be no more than two moves from a research station.

Good point. I'm bad at remembering what just went and what is in the draw pile. In my own games, I look at the discard pile constantly. Also, Algiers really only affects two other cities whereas Mumbai hits three. Baghdad hits five but, at a minimum, I could get that my next turn. Not that we want to want that long since we have a good chance at eradicating black as is. Gud, thoughts?
I like the Mumbai plan. Things are looking a little scary in central Asia.
PANDEMIC
Ok, then...
Cure all the blue things!!!
Exchange my ticket to Manila for one to Mumbai
Cure Mumbai
Sit back and enjoy a glass of Nimbu pani as my minions build a research station
Take it away, minions!
PANDEMIC
A cure for the Blue Fever is discovered and Mumbai is cleared of zombies right before a new research center is constructed.
After accomplishing a whole lot in a short time, the Operations Expert draws Kolkata (Black) and Hong Kong (Red).
Meanwhile, Blue Fever spreads in Atlanta, putting it on the brink and the Red Death infects more of Hong Kong, putting it on the brink as well.
The situation:
I feel I should do something about all the Red Death around me. If I'm lucky, I might pick up a red card and be ready to distribute some Red Death knowledge.

Agreed
PANDEMIC
That is indeed a lot of Red Death. I think it's a good plan. Maybe then the Medic can bounce around the Blue research stations, clean them out. Could finish in either Chicago or Algiers for maximum curage. Even San Fran if it'd be good to finish close to the Researcher.
PANDEMIC
Sounds good, but let''s see what happens at the end of this turn....
PANDEMIC
Depending on what happens this turn, I might go for eradicating black.
