Story:<br>
During the first years of the century the costs of healty care and the various hospitals have risen enourmously. This steep increase in costs of healty care made health care allmost unaffortable for the majority of the people of Amsterdam. To reduce costs most of the healthcare have been reduced from it's 'nice to have' services. In the hospitals 90% of all health care related actions are taken care off. The 'specialities' are being done in special hospitals. In the normal hospitals only the core product is being offert. The extra's can either be bought or taken care off yourself. This means to families will take care of the food, washing, entertainment of the patient. Even the supply of pills is done by the familie or friends. If these activities are not being taken care of a fine has to be paid. In and around the hosipitals extra services can be bought in from local entrepeneurs.

''It is 2020 and we are living in Amsterdam. The number of people living in the capital of The Netherlands stabalised at around 750.000 many years ago. However, due to globalisation, the atractiveness of the city to foreigners, and relative high number of children per person of the allochtonous population compared to the number of children of the autochtonous population there is an increadible number of nationalities living on a relative small area. Therefore, the city is vulberable for pandemies. In 2015 the Bengalese flue had a major impact on the citizens (and the economy) of Amsterdam. When the pandemy peaked, more than one-third of the citizens of Amsterdam were sick. As a reaction to this disaster, people in Amsterdam started to focus on prevention of deseases. This resulted in beter public health, because people spend more time in sports schools than ever and healthy food is readily available. The last McDonalds in Amsterdam closed its doors one year ago! A drawback of this focus on prevention of deseases is that it is observed that human resistance to deseases significantly reduces. In the past people got a 'cold' or a flue every few years. Most people kept working or stayed at home for a couple of days. People recovered quite quickly. Nowadays, in general people have not been ill for a long time, but when the get a flue the need extra care and many times they end up in hospitals. In fact, the vulnerabiluty of the citizens of Amsterdam for a new pandemy is extremely high. Currently the Dutch government is investigating how to deal with this new threat. <br>
