MobiusPortal.com Creates Bird Flu Simulation Game
A real-time global map of the bird flu is used to create a pandemic simulation.
Palomar Mountain, CA, May 09, 2006 --(PR.com)-- MobiusPortal.com has had its global map of bird flu infections under test for almost 6 months. It is ready for a 'real-word' simulated excercise.
They have created the following scenario:
A Harlequin Duck, migrated from Alaska, infects a wild boar at Lake Sonoma, California. H5N1 mutates within that pig. A hunter, that kills that pig, is then infected with this virulent mutation.
The Game begins...
Starting May 18th, anyone in the world can play a role to provide their spin on the resultant pandemic. They can point and click on a global map to locate infections, agency response, and enforcement actions.
There is no script: The viewers will build their own pandemic and responses.
Francis Hemsher, CEO of MobiusPortal.com, has some reservations on how this will evolve. "We are opening our website to so many diverse personalities. We are vulnerable, yet hopeful, that the final result will allow many to participate on an experiental level, to a situation that is scary, but if honestly addressed, can be helpful if a pandemic were to occur."
The simulation will begin from the current global map as shown at:
