Play with Plague Inc. (https://www.ndemiccreations.com/en/22-plague-inc)

Every single press title the last two years can be related somehow to a single Game. New variants, new mutations, spreading faster vs killing more people, ... All these tradeoffs are quite well modeled.

Building a resistance to vaccines ("the cure") is also one areas where your virus can evolve, and -to be honnest- I prefer it to fight vaccines than to develop a "total organ failure" mutation.

It's a game, not a model. Real mutations aren't directed or instantly spread to all infected people like in the game. Iirc people also don't get better once infected.
