We just found a virus that causes coughing and sweating.
Lets shut down all airports and docks along with declaring martial law and burning dead bodies.

Some of the comments here really helped! Managed to kill the world in 86 or so days! Seeing "Madagascar has been infected" then "Madagascar devoid of life" ... Heavenly!

Many thanks to all those who gave tips both here, and in the Forums. Reading some of those through made me realise that the game wasn't as random as I had thought, and helped me understand the mechanics much better. After an extremely long time trying, I've finally got the badge!
The mistakes I had been making personally were: not noticing at which population level different countries would start reacting, if I hadn't sold my symptoms; having the Infection rate too fast towards the start of the game; and I had been trying to infect too many people before any deaths started.
All dead by Day 86. Score 171698 'The Madagascan Death'!
Best of luck to anyone else trying to get the badge!

how to completely destroy vaccine, have them start working on vaccine for you when you have no symptoms, step 2: GET ALL SYMPTOMS! step 3: profit!

I felt more accomplished when I saw "Madagascar is devoid of life" than when I received my high school diploma. And I'm okay with that.

I started to make these notes when all Countries were infected, and thought others might find them useful!
Start: Cuba - Virus, Durable, & Catching (wouldn't normally use any Transmission). Using Sneezing & Coughing, then 1-1-1-0. Remove Coughing when a mainland region affected; remove Sneezing when a country on each Land-mass is infected. Wait.. All Countries infected by day 29. Increase to 1-1-1-4 (*must* get 4). Get Coughing & Sneezing back, open Tiers 2 & 3. Remove any unwanted Symptoms on Tier 2/3. Get Diarrhoea, Vomiting, Pulmonary Oedema (Edema), Hypersensitivity & Fever. (This should actually be enough according to Infection and Death rate...) Wait, & save points for Kidney Failure. All infected by: Day 67. Save points to add Kidney failure (Day 72), then Fatigue - should have waited for Ataxia (not Fatigue)? All dead: Day 102 - not again... ARGH!

Once everyone in a country has been infected, why do the 'Government Affairs' still happen? (I'd think that when over 95% of the World has died - and the others are in the process of doing so - that 'Curfews are enforced' etc, would no longer be a priority/posssibility!).
Also, that is some *really* impressive Border Control going on! Even when almost everyone on the planet has died, even an animal isn't getting through! (Why - for example - can't I use 'Transmissions' to infect Countries with closed Borders?)
Still love the game, although I'm still being driven mad by the PMA badge! (I've killed the world several times over. My nearest attempts were 101 days (more than once...), and 1 person surviving on day 100 - ARGH!

Ikr! Madagascar is so hard! However, even if you have NO visibility, people will still make a vaccine. I guess it WAS made in 2008...
