In a live interactive experience, step into the control room to build an imaginary virus with epidemiologists and map how a rapidly spreading contagion might affect Australia. Pathogens and diseases like HIV, H1N1, influenza, Ebola virus, SARS and cholera are affecting people globally. Climate change, global connectedness, population density and rapid virus mutation exacerbate these threats and our capacity to respond. What happens in a pandemic? How do we survive and support each other when we can’t come together and contact is forbidden? How can we learn from the past and strategise for the future?
