@gamehazard- different parts of the country for your second post, and for the first one, Canada has Alaska in it's general vicinity... wouldn't it be silly for the disease to spread to Alaska from the U.S., for example, if Canada had closed all transportation? And to start, a real easy way to get a lot of points- Sell your traits that show the people are infected- You don't really have to worry about a vaccine, just build up resists and ways to spread.
