 . If you removed a bad symptom, trash the copy and make a new copy. continue this till you only have good symptoms left.
 . Congrats you have made a good disease
+ Note: You can also combine diseases by taking a drop of blood from one disease and putting it in the other, although this isn't always perfect as it sometimes removes or overwrites symptoms. So always have a backup.
+==Symptoms==
+(Will insert description of symptoms here)
+A virus with a 'Stealth' stat of above 2 will not show up on Medical Scanners nor Medical HUD's. With 3 or more, it becomes invisible to the Pandemic 2000 too, so unless you're an antag, its a good idea to ensure that you avoid getting to stealth 3 unless you have antibodies for your symptoms.
+Transmissibility stat effects: (maybe put descriptions of these effects here?)
+*Blood
+*Contact with feet
+*Contact with hands
+*Contact generally, including walking through someone
+*Airborne
+Transmissibility also effects its ability to penetrate clothing, with more transmittable diseases going through general clothing. Hardsuits and Biosuits are always impossible to penetrate.
+"Contact" also transfers between items, so if you were touching something and some other tosser picked it up they have a chance to spread the disease. Same goes for corpses infected before death.
+The higher Resistance it has the more rare the substance to cure it will be, if the Resistance is higher than the players "Disease Resistance" (Generally a pretty high Resistance) the player will not produce antibodies after getting cured.

+==Super Viruses... AND YOU!==
+Now, if you want to make a super virus, here's some handy tips for you!
+Firstly, always use Rhino-virus as the base virus, as it makes you sneeze and makes it wide spread!
+Use plasma to get the high level symptoms then only use unstable mutagen. The plasma level symptoms you want to get are Self Respiration and Dexyribonucleic Acid Aide, Self Respiration makes your body produce dexalin, Acid Aide gives you powers which switch at random intervals between 2 seconds to 5 minutes.
+After you have gotten those, your cure will probably be nutriment, and you need to eat, So get the Weight Even symptom! makes them not need to eat, and to top it of, get Stimulant.
+EVERYONE loves stimulant (Except security, but securitys' boring) and dont remove sneezing.
+==How to not get lynched by security==
+WARNING! For the unrobust.
+*DONT use rhinovirus, or at least remove sneezing! they hate having people run faster than them or have hulk and that stuff
+*Only give the super power disease to a few trusted people!
+*Dont use your super powers for anything fun!
+==Making Medbay Useless (as if they aren't already)==
+Get 2 viruses, one with Sneezing, Weight Even, Stimulant and Acid Aide and the second with Sneezing. Toxic Compensation, Toxic Filter, Weight Even and Self Respiration.
+Release the viruses.
+???
+Profit!
+(Note: Genetics and chemistry will still be used for cloning and Alkysine, respectively. Viruses will not bring back the dead or heal brain damage.)
+==Here are some good (and hilarious) diseases.==
+ Survivability (Airborne)
+ Symptoms:
+ *Sneezing,
+ *Toxic Filter,
+ *Toxic Compensation
+ *Self Respiration.
+ Effects: Will heal anyone of all their damage, Rather slowly, though. The full healing effects don't come into effect all at once.
+          Also anyone in crit who isn't being actively killed wont die if the full effects of this disease is on them (To be confirmed)
+ Super Hero (Airborne)
+ Symptoms:
+ *Sneezing,
+ *Acid Aide,
+ *Stimulant.

+ The Antag Special (Airborne)
+ Symptoms:
+ *Sneezing,
+ *Necrotalizing Fasciitis,

+ Cure-all (Airborne)
+ Symptoms:
+ *Sneezing,
+ *Anti-Bodies
+ *Metabolism.
+ Effects: Cures all other diseases other than itself. Release only if there's a really bad virus on the station.
