Best thing in the world: Starting in madagascar. Worst thing in the world: Port closes before you can spread anywhere else.

I always knew that Ebola would wipe out humanity. Thanks Andyb112, without your help I wouldn't have gotten the Impossible Badge.

I don't think it should be possible for governments to start shutting shit down if I have 0 visibility and no kills or vectors...

"Government of Madagascar closes airports to prevent possible infections."
...wait a minute, do they have some secret airport I don't know about?

So, I decided to play this game for the first time in forever, never beating it thanks to Madagascar. I start the game, and my first line was "the disease has spread to Madagascar" its been like two years since I've played, the wait was rewarding.

All infected, but Japan. Japan thinks "Oh! A Virus with no symptoms, not harming anyone, lets just close anything to prevent us getting infected!"

A disease with 0 visibility, no symptoms, and no lethality... the doctor's visit must sound like this:
"Doc, I think I've got something. I feel completely okay."
"Do you? Well, we can give you a check up."
"That'd be great, Doc."
"Well, looks like you're completely healthy."
"Wonderful! I'll go write an article about how people being completely healthy might secretly be infected with a disease that won't hurt them and isn't at all noticable or even infectuous. I'll be doing the world a favor!"
The guy then proceeds to create global panic about how everyone is infected with a deadly virus that they won't ever know they have and does no damage to their bodies at all. We'll call him Alex Jones.

Yay, Madagascar first up. All going well until I realised that no boats were actually leaving the port.... Worst. Bug Ever.
