Blood

Blood
Info	1st Stage: Gives organism ability to spread through blood-to-blood contact. Increases infectivity, especially in poor regions and mutation chance 2nd Stage: Infected bodily fluids able to pass through mucous membranes. Increases infectivity, especially in poor regions and mutation chance
Initial DNA Cost	8 (1st Stage) 13 (2nd Stage)
Stats	+2 Infectivity; +0.8 in Poor Countries (1st Stage) +4 Infectivity; +1.2 in Poor Countries (2nd Stage)
Mutation	+0.5 (1st Stage) +1 (2nd Stage)
Next Transmission	Extreme Hematophagy

Blood is a basic Transmission present in most Plagues. By allowing the Pathogen to spread through blood and other bodily fluids, it increases Infectivity, specially in Poor Countries, and Mutation.

Variations

Necroa Virus

Trait	Description
1st Stage	"Virus enters the circulatory system, blood is now a transmission vector. Poor countries particularly vulnerable"
2nd Stage	"Virus can replicate directly in the blood stream, significantly increasing infectivity. Poor countries particularly vulnerable"

Government Actions

Standard Plagues

If the first stage of this Transmission is evolved, after the disease is noticed, governments may start to conduct blood test nationwide, decreasing national Infection rates by 3. If this first action is taken, and the second stage is evolved, governments may start to close all hospitals, decreasing national Infection rates by 5, and the country's Public Order by 0.02.
