How does a quarantine marker count placements when several cubes or chain-reaction outbreaks hit the city?
The designer answered this in 2015, 2019 and 2024, and the rulebook's Fine Points say the same.

A marker blocks one placement event per flip, no matter how many cubes. Placing several cubes at once (two colours from Disease Zones Expand, or a chain reaction that reaches the city from one card) counts as a single placement and flips the marker only once, going 2 side to 1 side, and then removing it on the next one. The number on the marker counts placements, not cubes.
