Master China's H1N1 game

Any flu worth its symptoms gets people around the world working on creative responses to it, and in China, H1N1 has been met by the country's, shall we say, creative quarantine measures. With Shanghai’s third confirmed serious case of H1N1 (although there have been 1,538 non-serious cases as of last week), we thought another kind of creativity was in order: a game.

Although there are a number of good games out there honoring H1N1, our favorite so far is Sneeze. It’s pretty simple, just use the arrow buttons to move your person and the space bar to sneeze on other people -- infecting as many as possible. Sounds easy but it does require some strategy.

Not only a way to lighten the flood of H1N1 China news, it’s actually, dare we say, an educational game showing players exactly what one simple sneeze can do.
