You start as a viral, bacterial, or parasitic infection that is completely benign, with upgrades first just helping spread the infection.
For instance, upgrade being able spread through body fluids like blood. Now, you could just wait for people to come in contact with infected blood and become none the wiser they have an infection, or pick an upgrade that makes people vomit to help spread the infection.
Another example would be getting airborne, and choosing coughing as a symptom.
