The coronavirus outbreak has taught us many things already, and we may still have many lessons to learn.

Before we carry on, read this to find out about the coronavirus symptoms, how to decrease your chances of infection, and the disease’s mortality rate.

Much criticism has been levelled at China for how the country initially handled the outbreak, and there have been accusations that many public officials weren’t completely honest with their citizens, and the rest of the world, from the get-go.

It’s not exactly a country where free speech is actively encouraged, and now China is even clamping down on which games you can play on your phone.

This from the BBC:

A game which challenges players to spread a deadly virus around the world has been banned in China, its makers have said.

Plague Inc. has been pulled from the Chinese app store for including “illegal content”, British-based developer Ndemic Creations said.

It added that it is working “very hard” to find a way to reverse the ban.

The bans comes as China continues to battle the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

Makers of the game said they were “devastated” for players in China, and that they “are currently working with major global health organisations to determine how [they] can best support their efforts to contain and control COVID-19.”

I’m sure the makers of Plague Inc. are also devastated about the loss of revenue, given that it soared in popularity in China amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Probably the same people who would watch a movie like Contagion at a time like this.

There are still an estimated 130 million people around the world playing the game, so the makers of the game aren’t exactly struggling.

You can download the game from the Apple App store here, and for Android here.
