1. No one is saying "let the people die". Health and safety standards should be raised as we gain more understanding of health risks. My point is that we need to increase the safety standards and health codes at wet markets, be

This is a multi-day competition. Players may coordinate in each round, but I mean to coordinate in each day. If you only coordinate over a short horizon then the complexity of your deception is lower. So for example, all players adopt a
