It's a bit of a shame that Plague Inc does not support re-infection. Once someone had the disease, they are immune for life.

And the only goal the game really supports is killing everyone, instead of eg going for the largest sustainable population of your organism. (Think more like one of the bugs that cause the common cold, and less like the black death.)

It also doesn’t seem very realistic that the virus can infect everybody and then evolve to start killing them, and somehow the past infections all get the updated orders to kill, haha. Gameplay concessions I guess.
I can live with that particular lack of realism. :)
