Henrik, if you can't even spell 'release' right, then you're in no position to have your jokes laughed at.
This game is awesome, though I wish there were loans!

in order for a land to be cleansed 90% of the population must die. the other ten either are immune or just plain lucky.

I shut down all airports and seaports and closed all borders. So how does Wyoming get infected when it's NOT EVEN NEAR AN INFECTED STATE?!

The swine flu is not to deadly if you have nothing other than it but I am not going for the details saying one little mistake makes everything in it unrealistic, but still in the first few weeks after it hit only one person died but he/she had something else along with it.

News Reporter: Live at the scene, the vaccine has just been handed out. People are now immune to the disease! (Puts hand on ear mic) What?.... Oh... This just in, the player has not yet got the easy badge. I don't know what this has to do with us, but... AHH WHAT IS FALLING FROM THE SK..

News: it seems the governement has taken extreme measures of reducing the swine flu by nuking Las Vegas
Me: Wait, it was infected? I just wanted to push the red button.

When you're trying to eradicate the flu completely from a region, close the airports and ports completely there until it's gone (normally you'll want foreign travel enabled)- curfews can help keep the population at 100% immunised vs 99.9%.

Why does everyone is Vermont suddenly start looting and rioting when all of the infected states are all the way across the country?

So somehow knowing that a state was completely wiped out thus ending infected people in the area is comforting?If you say so.....

Freaking Panic.... Needed 1% of immunity to win.. OUT OF NOWHERE the media goes on a rampage and starts attacking!!! Filled the bar in 25 seconds -_-

Woot saved 90% of US population on second hard mode attempt! Closing seaports and airports on day one and using masks and curfews on California and Texas until the vaccine was finished seemed to help a lot. Virus never made it to the eastern seaboard :D

How I won Surgeon General Badge: Open Gov. Only hand out masks & do info campaign until vaccine is found. Give vaccine to states with highest healthy population that does not have hospitals (= highest # of ppl getting vaccine = fast increase in immuned), stop giving vaccine once it stops or # of healthy ppl is low enough (500k, for me) then give vaccine to other states with highest healthy ppl. Rinse and repeat, while stopping hospitals when the number of healthy ppl in its state is also low enough to save $1000 per day. Also, use money efficiently by starting operations at the beginning of the day and end them at the end of the day. In this strategy, nation window (white house icon) is your best friend: it shows # of immune, healthy, and infected people in each state and allows to jump right into those states by clicking magnifying glass icon. I finished the game almost entirely in fast speed and with dead population still in 0%, so there should be enough room for mistakes.

Basicly, the easiest thing to do is isolate states that are infected, pass out mask to them, and pass the vacine out to the neighboring states before re-opening the interstates. Then you can slowly give the shots to the rest of the US without fear. Albiet, it cost me three quarters of florida but I saved almost all the rest of the nation.

10.8m immune, 1 healthy, 0 infected, and 5m dead in Texas.
I wonder why that one healthy guy never got the vaccine...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Easy even on the hardest level. Simply buy masks in all infected states and keep going until you're about 1 day from vaccine. Then save the money, and when the vaccine hits you should have 100k+. Then just vaccinate everything; obviously start with already infected states and limit the spread as much as possible. After a while you'll have 85%+ done. Simples.

If you saw my other comment, Here Is How To Win: Hand out masks to each infected state until Vaccine is developed. Then hit infected states with vaccine. If a state is REALLY BAD hand out masks. I got the underachiver trohpy. :)

Hmmmm, it appears that, in order to gain the 'Operation Iceburg' I must complete the game on any difficulty on April 1st.
What's the date today? April 2nd...ah...

I see that ONE person that ISN'T immune in Kansas. Welp, time to make Kansas suffer... All because of that ONE person... I'll see you in HELL

I think there is a problem with chance of introducing more infected into the country decimal. I've seen it go from a 0.9% chance to a 0.10% chance. This could be that it jumped way down, but I think you are treating the decimal in the wrong way. (I think I've also seen 0.1% chance which just increases my suspicions of this)

No infected, everyone immune, but 29% have died. Unwinnable or bug? I have my 70% of population completely immune. Is there any way to win, as it won't let me. I had 65% at hour one and by hour two and half I worked the kinks out. Is this a bug? I am really not enjoying winning and then slowly losing to panic over doing nothing.

8 million people in New Jersey successfully immunized --> riots occur. Either the 3 infected people left qualify as a riot or these people are really ungrateful

Best way on hard for any governemnt is to buy masks until you get vaccine, and ban the domestic travel, and then immunize the big states; Illinois, California, Texas, Pennsylvania and New York and Georgia, plus extreme policies helps but only use if you can control Panic.

I feel that I've won the game about half an hour in on hard mode. I know I've won. Then two hours have passed with the last hour of it having sporadic 1 person infections nearly causing the panic to dissolve the country, and only two states not vaccinated.
Enjoyable as a reverse pandemic at the start, but unlike pandemic, is too boring and too long.
