Okay, I finally did it! It may be luck, but here's how I did it;
1) With a virus, start in Greenland.
2) Sell all symptoms
3) When you have enough points, by 1-1-1-1 (heat 1, cold 1, etc.)
4) Sit back and wait for all countries to be infected
5) When they start working on a vaccine, by all remaining drug resistances, plus the following, Heat 2, Cold 2, Moisture 2, Airborne, Waterborne, Insect, Rodent, Sneezing, Coughing
From there, do whatever you want, since that should be enough to infect everyone before the vaccine is distributed.
@#$$##$@%#$$%^#$ SERIOUSLY?! I started in Madagscar! very country became infected...except for the fracking Aussies, who shutdown their airport and shipyards! Oh, but they were kind enough to leave their borders open...yeah, because that's SO useful...

There have been comments on how to work around this. But in case you missed them, just hit tab until you see a square on the bottom right hand side of the screen, then press enter.

What's the issue, do you get an error in the game when trying to upload? Or do the upload succeed but then you get an empty map?
