Isn't a critical flaw in the game that the player has no reason to believe there is a countdown until the world ends?

Yeah. Realisticly, you've "lost" before the game even starts when you decide to release the virus without knowing whether it kills non-cancer cells. I guess John could have had some doubts about it (enough to keep working instead of going out to party) but in that case he was stupid not to have brought it up before.
