* It would be odd if there wasn't a reference to ''{{VideoGame/Pandemic}}'', and it appears in the name of a scenario where countries are quicker to seal their borders, named after the ''Pandemic'' {{meme}} "Shut Down Everything".

to:

* It would be odd if there wasn't a reference to ''{{VideoGame/Pandemic}}'', and it appears in the name of a scenario where countries are quicker to seal their borders, named after the ''Pandemic'' {{meme}} "Shut Down Everything". The same phrase can also be seen on one of the billboards in Madagascar when it starts suffering widespread disorder. Seems like a double reference because Madagascar itself has gained notoriety for being very difficult to infect in the original ''Pandemic'' game.
