  1. What I learned about Pandemics is that some can spread very easily and they can spread from variouse things such as insects, animals, etc. I also learned that the environment has an effect on how hard a disease hits. I was a Virus called the Wiz Khalifa Virus and my dieseas hit everywhere but Madagascar. I killed billions!!!!

  8. i learned that its very easy to spread a virus if you do it right but however it can be very hard if you do it wrong. i chose the bacteria the first time and it spread really easily but the second time i chose the parasite and that didnt do so good.

  11. ive learned that virus's can spread very easily and can cause great harm to people including death. my virus started in south africa and spread to the whole world in little time. even though countries tried to prevent it from coming to thier country it still did. its really scary to imagine something like this happening.

  13. In this game I chose the parasite to infect teh world. This disease started really slow but was hard to notice. I chose my disease to spread through the air bc I thought it would be the most effective. I learned that if a disease is stong enough it has the capability to take over teh world.

  15. i learned it was easier to spread a virus than a parasite, but either way i ended up killing billions of people. I realized that if it ever gets that bad then we'll all probably die.

  16. i learned from playing this game that a pandemic can spread so quickly and it can spread through anything. I used a virus because it is the most effective way to spread a disease and it can not be treated by medicine. I made my disease resistant to pretty much everything because that seemed to make it so that no country could stop it!!

  17. I picked a parasite and it moved pretty slow but took a while to be seen. I managed to corrupt every country except for Madagasscar and South America. I learned how quickly and easily a diseasecan spread through the world if gone unchecked.

  19. From playing Pandemic 2 I realized how fast diseases can actually spread. At first I made a parasite disease and it moved way too slowly and didn't really do much accept infect people not kill them. Then I used a bacteria and it started to spread so rapidly that it actually affected every area but Madagascar. I thought that was insane and it made me realize how dangerous pandemic's can actually be.

  20. I used a parisite and i realized if a world wide disease ever hit we would be in trouble. I think that there would be a few survivors because some places will close everything down.

  21. I've found the best way to play this game is to make your disease as unnoticable as possible, which means getting rid of all the obvisious symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. Then making the disease as resistant to outside forces as possible will make it stealthy and resistant.

  22. From playing this game i learned that parasites become active lowly, creating a near invisible detecting to society. As this happens you can build up an immunity to drugs and ableing the diease to kill more an dmore people. No way to be stopped the diease will take over everyone and kill us

  23. I learned from this game that all it takes is one virus strand to infect and possibly kill billions. Using vaccines will only make the virus more resistant and in the end, the virus could completely devoid countries of life.

  24. When i was playing this game i learned that a deadly disease can spread all over the world fast. Everywhere in the world except madagascar was infected with my disease. by the time the vaccine was completed and distributed my virus had infected every person in every country the virus was in. if i had more time the disease would have killed everyone infected

  25. i choose a parasite (didnt name it) and it started off very slow, but when everything started to pick up, all of mexico and south america were devoid of life. it is very easy for a disease to spread. i agree with danielle.
