COVID OPS
About
The COVID-19 outbreak has ravaged the globe. As the world's scientists work feverishly to invent a vaccine, the remaining uninfected have fled to camps believed to be virus-free.
Yours is one such camp.
Vaccine is expected in 180 days. Healthy people generate revenue.
Additional test kits and beds can be purchased. Good luck!

Background:
"Three weeks ago I was idly thinking of how someone ought to make a little game that shows how the coronavirus spreads, how testing changes things, and how social distancing works. ... But I have to admit, I kinda figured someone would have made it by now. But they haven't." - Game designer Raph Koster on FB
I came across this a few days ago and took that as a personal challenge to make the game.
The project is released, but it's going to be my pet project while in quarantine, so I plan to do regular updates for a while. Please leave feedback with any bugs, comments, suggestions, etc. Thanks!
