One decent strat to explore was just turning on extra comp and nothing else. Social stability tended to stay at the max. 141k people died. Knowing how strong this is, you can just buy your way out of almost any upset with other choices for a relatively marginal increase in costs.
A couple things I didn't understand:
* My immune numbers started to go down at some point. Why?
* How many people are there? The game suggests 10 million, but near the end it suggested there could have been 14 million people infected. I wonder if this game just uses an exponential model under its hood rather than something logarithmic.
* Can the vaccine pr ever work out favorably? Seems like it doesn't.

The methodology page [0] explains resistant people eventually become susceptible to infection again.

Since the game is tracking total number of infections, rather than people infected, and since infected people can become susceptible again, that would explain the #infections > total population.
That methodology doesn't appear to be supported by the latest scientific research. The vast majority of recovered patients retain a high level of immunity for an extended period of time. Reinfections have occurred but statistically are very rare.
