* '''Stealth:''' If stealth is 2 or higher your disease will be hidden from medHUD and scanners. Stealth of 4 or higher makes it invisible to the P.A.N.D.E.M.I.C. machine. If a virus only contains positive symptoms, it will show up as a blue icon on medHUDs. | * '''Stealth:''' If stealth is 2 or higher your disease will be hidden from medHUD and scanners.

** The infection vector is calculated with (disease's transmission - amount of symptoms). 1 or less is blood, 2-4 is contact, 5 is airbone. The Sneezing symptom forces sporadic airborne spreads, but does not otherwise affect this. | ** The infection vector is calculated with (disease's transmission - amount of symptoms). 1 or less is blood, 2-4 is contact, 5 is airbone.

** When infecting someone who already has a virus, if the infecting virus' Transmission is higher than the other virus' Resistance, the latter will be overridden by the former. | |||
* '''Stage speed:''' Increases the chance of advancing a stage each tick. It will be 2% or stage speed, whichever is higher. | * '''Stage speed:''' Increases the chance of advancing a stage each tick. It will be 2% or stage speed, whichever is higher. | ||
* '''Resistance:''' Makes the virus harder to cure; determines the required chemical to cure, decreases the chance of it being cured each tick when in contact with the cure, and defines how resistant the virus is to being overridden by other viruses. | * '''Resistance:''' Makes the virus harder to cure; determines the required chemical to cure, decreases the chance of it being cured each tick when in contact with the cure, and defines how resistant the virus is to being overridden by other viruses. | ||
