Anyone every played that video game “Plague Inc.” (Ndemic)? The object of the game is to wipe out humanity using any type of disease you can. One of the easiest ways for people who are just starting out is to use a virus that is very infectious but is late to show symptoms and has a low morbidity rate. That’s practically the best position to be in when you start out.

**Moderator Note**

Don’t post misleading descriptions of videos, especially a basically bare link. At a minimum, describe what it’s about. As far as I can see, there is no medical verification provided for your statement.
