Actual realistic mode: Your disease has no indication of existing, no one does anything. Then when everyone on the planet has it, it takes years (virus), decades (bacteria) or several millennium, centuries at best (parasite), for your disease to acquire detrimental effects.
Depending on the complexity of your disease, a cure would take significantly longer. If it's a virus, very few cures actually exist for viruses, since they live inside of the host cells. Bacteria have plasmids that can mutate at much higher rates and cause resistance to antibacterial drugs. If the entire world is infected, pretty much gg world. Parasite... gg. A cure for a parasite wouldn't take nearly as long as the detrimental effects would take to evolve.
My problems with Realistic mode being called realistic in a nutshell. It should be called: Everyone in the world is a high functioning paranoid schizophrenic... mode. Who else would close borders for a "disease" that has no harmful effects or symptoms at all?

Ok, here is my feedback: The borders are more secure than realistic. Simply put, someone will flee with the disease across borders that are closed under pandemic situations. Panic, human nature, whatever you call it.
Second, the game is fun outside of it really being about a few selections. However, Madagascar could use an airport that actually gets planes. There is an airport there, and it would make it a little bit less of an issue.

1.start in greenland(nowhere else) 2.sell all symptoms but coughing 3.wait till 7 countries are infected then sell the coughing 4.wait for the world to get infected(if happens after 30 days restart) 5.buy all tier 3-1 symptoms in order all from tier 3 then 2 and last 1 5-10% chance to win
and still for the clearance madagascar is worst place to start because virus will stay there for a long time without infecting other countries.

and as the Human species was wiped from existence in only 32 days....Madagascar lived and eventually.....died along side the rest of them

There needs to be an improved #3 where if your virus has 0 visibility countries won't actually shut down they're crap. And definitely more features and symptoms, modes, and traits.

I took away my virus's sneezing and left it, i check my traits, and one is "famous", added visability. There are no symptoms...So why is it famous..?

1.) Pick Virus. 2) Start in Canada, New Zealand, Cuba, Greenland, West Europe, or Madagascar. If you do not get there restart. 3) Sell the starting symptoms, and buy sneezing (unless it is what you started with, just keep it). 4) Buy 1-1-1-0 resistances but no transmissions (they trigger closures). 5) Once four countries are infected, sell sneezing to get rid of visibility. 6) Wait until all countries are infected. If Madagascar closes its shipyards/borders or is not infected in 30 days, restart. 7) Buy all four drug resistances AND sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. 8) After a few days, unlock tiers 2-3, (do not buy tier 4 ever!) keeping whatever symptoms it gives you. 9) Buy fever, fatigue, diarrhea, pulmonary edema, and hypersensitivity. Then save for kidney failure and ataxia. 10) keep this comment alive Thanks for the comment! I got 13th of all time by using this method.

Jul. 24, 2010 Scientist: we've just found a new virus, which has no symptoms, no effects, causes nothing does nothing hurts no one. President of Madagascar: Shut everything down, stop people from leaving, burn all dead people, hand out gas masks, give out water, declare martial law. This could be the end of the world!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ONLY ONE PERSON WAS LEFT HEALTHY IN ARGENTINA AND I COULDNT INFECT THEM (it gives the new phrase last person on the planet) T-T

Very annoying, I start in madagascar and can't infect cuba. I start anywhere else and can't infect madagascar. Annoyingly difficult, but at least it serves a challenge. I'll give it a 4/5.
