PANDEMIC!

So, there is a new coronavirus. Everyone has to guess how many people will be killed globally, and how many people will be killed in a country (any country). At the end, we give two awards, one for the closest result numerically and one for the closest result in percentages. This way, small guesses and large guesses are both supported.

For the record, the last coronavirus, SARS also killed around 800 people. So far, the new virus already has claimed 2 lives.

I predict 888 globally and 100 in Brazil.

Players:
Doomyoshi 888 globally, 100 in Brazil

I predict a 100% infection and fatality rate in all areas of the world with the exception of Madagascar, who closed their port the instant someone coughed in Brazil.

The board game is just using little wooden squares for disease, if I remember correctly. Such a hard game to beat, impossible to win once you add the saboteur.

Please, I know so much more about coronaviruses than any of the long-ago, primitive epidemiolo-gamers that once posted on this ancient thread.
...and I don't find anything here to be in poor taste.
