The Corrupted Blood Incident - In this week’s episode we talk about the mad unprecedented event that is Corrupted Blood. This was a virtual Pandemic that hit World of Warcraft hard in 2005. Due to programming oversight, the entire world within the game was consumed by the Corrupted Blood pandemic and millions of players were affected. This in turn got the attention of epidemiologists around the world who were able to use it to inform real world Pandemic scenarios. Now the event is helping build understanding for Covid 19 and how human behaviour is really crucial to staving off and controlling current and future epidemics and pandemics!
