Wow! I'm glad that there seems to be some interest and I'm absolutely loving these ideas.
As to Sundance's idea about modifiable infectability we actually have that to an extent already. That is to say that if you do not have any 'transmission' symptoms then the only way to transmit the disease is blood to blood. That being said I totally support the idea of being able to be able to widen or narrow what the pathogen would infect. It could be 'everyone' or 'only X race' or 'specific person or persons' depending upon the symptom used. For everyone else it could either be immune or a carrier. This would take a bit more work than adding other more traditional symptoms however.
I love the reverse CDC/contract idea ferriswheel1!
I would also like to find a way to use the analyzer to more quickly and efficiently figure out if a symptom you are chasing is going to be good for bad. As-is looking for symptoms is very scattershot. Adding more symptoms means you are more likely to find a symptom but there should be a way to narrow in on 'this one is good' 'this one is bad' 'this one is transmittable' and such things. That being said I do not yet have a solid idea for how this would be done.
