Each round presents a detailed epidemiological situation with case data, healthcare status, media/public sentiment, and decision context.
Your NPI choices must be informed by this intelligence — what works in one scenario may backfire in another.
Pay attention to transmission routes, case numbers, healthcare capacity, and public mood before selecting interventions.
⚡ REGIONAL CRISIS EVENTS appear in some rounds — unique challenges for each region
🚨
Regional Crisis: Media Speculation
MODERATE
News outlets are demanding immediate answers about the unknown pathogen. Social media filled with speculation about "cover-ups" and demands for dramatic action.
Effect:All NPIs cost +$10M due to media management needs. Disproportionate responses gain trust but waste resources.
📢
Stakeholder Pressure
POLITICAL
Mayor's Office: "We need visible action! The public expects us to DO something. Consider strong early measures to show leadership."
Pressure:+15 Trust if you implement ≥2 high-visibility NPIs, -10 Trust if you choose "wait and see" approach
📱
Misinformation Alert
VIRAL
Social media influencers claim the government is "hiding the truth" and pushing unnecessary restrictions.
Spreading:Anti-government sentiment grows, surveillance measures seen as authoritarian
