What are the factors in whether a disease is spreading effectively? Is it a virus? A bacterium? A parasite? Fungus? How about whether it’s contagious via touch? Airborne? Waterborne? Insect- vector? Transmitted via body fluids? Consider these factors as you play ‘Infection: Bio War’

Infection: Bio War The objective is to create a plague that will wipe out humanity. Depending on what options you choose and how you engineer your plague can determine it’s effectiveness. Play in groups of 2-3, with everyone placing input into your decisions and taking turns handling the Ipads. If you succeed, please allow me to confirm.
