Pandemic
In Worldwide Panic, does Rate Effect apply to a Mutation card?
The designer answered this in 2018 and the rulebook's combination note agrees.

Yes, when purple is also the Virulent Strain, Rate Effect applies to the Mutation cards drawn, so an extra Infection card is drawn after one. The extra draw is based on cards drawn, not on cubes placed. It cannot happen in the standard On the Brink Mutation, where purple can't be the Virulent Strain.
