The H1N1 virus has gotten lots of media attention, forced governments and companies to launch (or in some cases initiate) their flu pandemic preparedness plans, and, now, inspired a video game.

Try your luck and see if you have what it takes to control a pandemic!
Yes, I have not now a influenza virus to have received such attention. It still conjure fear in peoples mind and although flu shots are available there are parts of the globe where people are still becoming seriously ill and hospitalised.
