Contagions
Would people be interested in seeing optional features to do with illnesses that are contagious be potentially transferred between pawns?

Thoughts are some form of sensible exposure to the sick pawn if this was the case. Also considering the more severe vanilla illnesses that could be transferable.

hi pelador, i think some sort of contagious colds could work quite well, maybe not any of the drug related ones. (for example if you get the flu, or mechanites, and you get raided, the raiders could get a chance to contract it as well, at some point later, especially if it was a melee combat, but things like beer addiction or psychite addiction probably not to be contagious)

also, if there is any way to tie into the filth drop, then maybe every time a person with a cold, is hit, or bleeding, and a blood splatter filth happens, then any pawns stepping into it, or nearby when it happened (especially like a sword strike in melee battle), then there could be a chance to catch it too (like simulating that a blood drop got into someones eye or face etc)

Bit late, but I'd like it. Having a quarantined section of the colony would be real neat, and so would thinking things were over just because all the raiders were dead or capture, but one I captured had the sniffles!

+1 on the list of people who think that contagions would be really cool!

I would like to see contagious diseases. Also consider face masks so my docs have minimal chance to get sick while treating the ill. Thanks for considering!

+1 please expand this mod so i can replace "diseases overhauled" (its a bit buggy and some of the things it adds are annoying like "secondary damage" especially to the brain as its permanent)

Edit: i would love if you added some potentially lethal viruses and such (you could make options for all the viruses etc so people can choose to disable a potentially annoying feature)
