I played the game by restricting everything except a full lockdown and by doing nothing. The first time I had less than 200 deaths, the second time almost 150 k. The government survived in both cases, actually a little better in the latter. I'm not surprised because I don't remember a single government having to resign because of covid, even where the pandemic hit hard. Somebody had lost elections but it's difficult to assess the impact of covid mismanagement of the outcome of any election.
