    Could the patient zero narrative be tied to PhiGlax also? That would be a departure from the other origin stories but historically that terminology became prevalent in regards to AIDS

    According to those messages.. CDC sends teams worldwide to find patient zero to speed the cure.. Which plague requires the longest research besides the immune plague? Cause i can't think of any. Also.. The lethality has to be low untill the cdc closes on patient zero. And why on earth would the cdc have to help the scientists? If the cure reaches maximum intensity it does its job pretty damn fast.

    Wow.. These guys don't joke around. I wonder how our governments would react in case something similar to a plague virus would occur.

    Still no CDC.. I'm guessing i'm on the wrong path

    Just a thought

    This may have been mentioned, I remember someone discussing AIDS, but the original "patient zero" for the AIDS epidemic was a Canadian flight attendant...so maybe start in Canada?

    I just tried simulating AIDS (virus) with rash, sweating, nausea, anemia, hemophilia, drug1, blood1, blood2 and fever. (I know...not perfect...but just experimenting). Started in Canada....no joy...but will play with it a while.

    Hi guys, sorry for my inactivity but I recently created the ultimate guide to get all achievements in one page. Thank you all TouchArcade users and Botoshel to help us getting all achievements :D

    PS. CDC achievement not avalible btw, I still brain-blown off with that...

    Not always fatal, but still a disease.

    Ok so a bit random but I have never seen any messages about anyone getting POTUS sick using Necroa and I just got him sick. Chances are that someone else has and has posted about it but I've just never seen it

    We just need to pay attention to the news . I'm sure there's some sort of hint hidden.. Like that message "CDC warns of drug resistant bacteria"-could be nothing but could also point us towards bacteria.

    Hey guys

    Saw a couple of questions about reason for update coming to Android later. The Ndemic Creations team is very small and we can't do the Android port ourselves. Therefore, I use a third party (miniclip) to do the port and this takes time.
    I know this is a bit annoying but I can't do anything about it!

    Mr Vaughan... One question.. Is the CDC achievement 100% accurate? Or is it random?

    NaZG Finally

    :D Finally got there after dozens of attempts, multiple saves, multiple attempts at each step.........

    Saved at 100% infected, evolved the NaZG symptom chain, waited for the rabies message.......... NADA!

    After about 5 attempts finally got the rabies message, saved game, devolved the shift....... NADA!

    After about 3 more attempts got the second message and the cure started to slow around the 90% mark, crept up slowly as the world died, 97%........98%...............99%....................... Less than 20 million alive..............100%, and the world is saved?????

    3 more attempts and finally got the second message early enough, cure stopped at 71%................... A few years go by with the death rate crawling, and finally..............NaZG is done.

    Not sure if NaZG is broken for the iPad or if this is typical of everyone, but after having the correct pathway it's taken around 100 attempts to get NaZG to actually occur!

    If the Patient Zero achievement is equally broken, then it may never be solved!

    If you get the rabid bats message it's like 100 percent certain unless it mutates like hell.

    Also.. Mr Vaughan should rebalance it so it can be achieved on Brutal as well

    Didn't always get the first or second rabies pop-up and twice got the second pop-up with the cure at 100%, so was totally random for me using the iPad.

    Luckily, i had the second pop-up relatively early in the one successful attempt.

    I got a new idea.. The messages from the CDC achievement state at a point that they dispatch teams worldwide to trace the source of the outbreaks.. Maybe infecting a low number of countries and going lethal,but not too lethal,just to make the whole world start the cure research and trying to control infectivity,keeping it at a low level,and then devolving the lethal symptoms will make the CDC send it's teams to track patient zero. Crazy idea i know but since i can' think of any other posibilities i'd sustain this one.. And maybe,just maybe after devolving lethal symptoms it might be a good idea to go high on transmissions so that they panic over a new possible outbreak..

    Another posibility is to start with lethal symptoms as you begin the game and as soon as that country starts researching a cure,devolve them.. Then when it spreads to another country evolve them again.. An outbreak is defined as :"Two linked cases of a rare infectious disease".


    Note:This is just an idea! Haven't tested these methods! Feel free to try them!

    Sounds like a good plan, will give it a go when I get home from work, I have been thinking along the same lines, evolve lethal, devolve, basically confuse the shit outta them! Please post any findings dude, good luck!
