Infectious disease and hematology simulations

What do these simulations show? https://www.infectiousdisease.cam.ac.uk/schoolzone/games

 The great flu and killer flu game replicates a virus outbreak around the world. You can make certain equipment available like vaccines, face mask, and isolating symptomatic individuals to different parts of the world. In the simulation there's a chart you can see about how many are infected and how many deaths. Your goal is to save the human population with a 2 billion dollar budget to spend on preventable strategies. In the killer flu game you have to infect people with the virus and make some mutations in the virus for people with immunity and watch it spread. In med mystery game, you choose what game you want to play and then you're given missions and instructions on what to do. Different missions to prevent the disease from spreading would be finding different treatments and vaccines. The hemotology lab simulation includes three different blood smears from different paitents with blood disorders. your job is to examine the function of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In this simulation you learn to analyze complete blood counts, prepare peripheral blood smears and help dianose various blood disorders. All these simulations relate to us and socity today. We are constantly dealing with viruses and how to contain them. You can see how fast viruses spread and how fatel they can be.
