Just saw this headline on CNN: "Video game company urges players to avoid Plague Inc. game for information on coronavirus."
Apparently there's a video game called Plague, Inc. in which players learn about how infectious diseases spread across the globe. The player creates, deploys, and evolves a pathogen in an effort to infect everyone and "destroy the world." As morbid as that sounds, I think it's a brilliant concept - it takes into account factors like transmission mechanism, why islands are so interesting epidemiologically, and teaches the difference between pathogens like viruses and bacteria, as well as prions and biological weapons.
Interestingly, in 2019 the company announced they would add an in-game scenario about vaccine hesitancy after a petition was signed by over 10 thousand players.

The developer of the game was invited back in 2013 to visit the CDC. After his visit, the CDC said it was interested in Plague Inc. as "it uses a non-traditional route to raise public awareness on epidemiology, disease transmission, and diseases/pandemic information. The game creates a compelling world that engages the public on serious public health topics".
The game has garnered new attention as the current (as of Jan 2020) highest selling app in China, corresponding to the epidemic phase of the Wuhan CoV outbreak.
For more info on the game, you can find its official website here.

Herpes simplex viruses -- more commonly known as herpes -- are categorized into two types: herpes type 1 (HSV-1, or oral herpes) and herpes type 2 (HSV-2, or genital herpes). Most commonly, herpes type 1 causes sores around the mouth and lips (sometimes called fever blisters or cold sores). HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but most cases of genital herpes are caused by herpes type 2. In HSV-2, the infected person may have sores around the genitals or rectum.

I’m here to testify about what DR. ISIBOR did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 3 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Rose Smith on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. ISIBOR on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, DR. ISIBOR prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as DR. ISIBOR assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HIV, ALS, CANCER etc. you can contact DR. ISIBOR for help via email} drisiborspellhome@gmail.com or call +2348107855231
