Plague Inc [Suggestion] Dancing plague!
"The Dancing Plague (or Dance Epidemic) of 1518 was a case of dancing mania that occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace (then part of the Holy Roman Empire) in July 1518. Numerous people took to dancing for days without rest, and, over the period of about one month, some of those affected died of heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion."

Symptoms:
Tier 1:
Sweating:
Anxiety: Infected start to feel anxious.
Hyperactivity: Infected can't stop moving.
dizziness
Insomnia
Tier 2:
Violence: Infected might attack other people.
Mania
Involuntary movements: Infected loses control of it's body. Might cause accidents and death.
Seizures
Tier 3:
Dancing fever: Infected start dancing out of nowhere. Might cause death by exhaustion. (See abilities)
Heart attacks
Strokes

Abilities:

After "Dancing fever" is bought, the next special abilities are unlocked:

Group dancing 1: Infected start to dance in groups. Increases infectivity
Group dancing 2: Infected groups grow bigger. Increasing infectivity even more.
Group dancing 3: Infected groups grow bigger. Increasing infectivity even more.

(Each special ability increases lethality)
Ballet
Disco Fever:
Head banging: Might cause strokes
Hip Hop: Decreases time until death by exhaustion, side effect: Broken necks.

Infectivity:
Visual infection: Humans get infected by looking at infected for too long
Visual infection 2: Humans and animals can get infected by looking at infected for a short time
(Birds, Insects and Rodents)
Visual infection 3: Humans get infected by just looking at the infected
(Need more Infectivity upgrades)

I think this disease haves some great potential and will probably make me laugh A LOT if it's introduced. The symptoms will be highly visible and the Infectivity upgrades will be costly. The background music could be Disco music or something like that Tongue.

Сool!!!!I liked this idea!
But the Visual Infection should be replaced by something more realistic (Looking means catching photons with your eyes...You cant infect photons)

RE: [Suggestion] Dancing plague!
Am I the only one who immediately thinks of Thriller, by Michael Jackson? Seriously this sounds like a funny addition, but maybe there should be more attributes and abilities and such, for purchase, maybe adding more dance moves, or something, but other than that I love it

Already on the ideas list! But players on Plague Inc: Evolved may be able to create it themselves on the scenario creator before we get to it...
