isnt the gameplay simply waiting for points to pick new symptoms with the best strat to simply wait for everyone to be infected and then turn on everything at once?
At higher difficulties you'll get discovered before you can get in every country with minimal infection and zero symptoms, and one of the criteria for scoring is how fast you can win so if you want to get max score on the hardest difficulty (which you need to unlock the special plagues without paying) you need to be aggressive. I unlocked everything except the vampire plague when i played this years ago, because the Planet of the Apes scenario is really hard on max difficulty (I hated that one because the point of the movies wasn't to make humanity go extinct, just replace them with apes as the dominant lifeform on Earth)

Yes. You basically start the game, wait until you have enough points to do anything and then just click a few upgrades and wait.
No. I mean, that's a strategy but you use different strats depending on what kind of infection and other potential factors.
I think in the very early days that was basically the entire game. It's grown a huge amount from being basically a flash game.
... yes.
