Authored by Mark Hefflinger on December 12, 2005 - 3:00am.
San Francisco - Wired News on Monday reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is funding the development of video games that will be used to train first responders on how to deal with pandemics, biological and chemical terror attacks, and nuclear accidents. The games -- the first of which simulate an anthrax outbreak and a massive flu pandemic -- are being developed by a research team at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
