The map screen shows the areas of the world that are still fit and healthy alongside the areas that have succumbed to your plague. It also shows the passage of time (scarily from todays date, unless you have the wrong date set in your phone for some reason), and you'll see the planes and ships making their way across the world helping to spread your disease. There's even a news reel that let's you know how humanity is responding to your plague alongside humorous reports based on current events, it's updated regularly and it's a nice touch.
The Disease menu shows its biological makeup and various statistics; for instance how many people it infects on a daily basis and how many it kills. You can also earn DNA points by infecting new countries and preventing cures so you can spend them on new abilities. This includes transmission abilities (how your disease is contracted and spread), the symptoms of your disease and unique power-ups depending on which plague you chose (there's 7 in the main game).
Plague Inc is possibly the most gruesome mobile game I've ever encountered, but its dark humour is undeniably fun and a great way to kill time on the way to work. A majority of the updates are free but there are one or two 'premier' updates such as the zombie pack and the recently added Planet of the Apes pack. If you know of a more grisly mobile game than Plague Inc, let me know about it in the comments.
