Disease/Contagion technicalities
I know how disease works, basically. An infected sim will express symptoms like coughing, vomiting or motive drops. Everytime that happens, they generate "disease tiles" in their vicinity. These tiles...

I honestly forgot there were diseases in TS2. I played a family but had no health issues with them. Not a flu or anything...
I should probably get a sim into the Science career and see what happens.
Or just leave trash lying around, preferably outside! That will attract roaches and these will make your sims ill reliably.
Update on the Strangetown Mystery Disease under spoiler:
Spoiler
The Caliente got off the hook as neither Circe nor Johnny were in the mood to be contagious despite Nina and Johnny exchanging touches and kisses applenty.
At a party at the observatory (Curious household) Circe once again failed to infect her team. But she was fevering badly and suddenly flirted with her teenagehood crush Vidcund! She also agreed to go to a date with him the next day. Afterwards a woman named Meredith called Vidcund (one of Circe's two best townie friends and judging by her attire a cafeteria worker in the project). I think Circe asked Merry to occupy Vidcund for her in an attempt to save her marriage. So far it seems to work.
Not strictly epidemic-related, but touching :)
At the Bells' apartment Hannah brought Circe from work, she infected their downstairs neighbor Julia and Julia in turn infected Ivan. Now we are talking!
Hannah Bell also knows the blasted mircale soup recipe, but I won't let it fly this time. No way a hick from Desiderata knows such a potent medicine! So it was bedrest for Ivan and much to my joy he escaped to work twice. As Strangetown's deputy he felt honor bound to do so, I suppose. So that were two workshifts with the mystery disease. After the second shift Ivan he got the "Cured" message. Police work in Strangetown obviously counts as bedrest, lol.
While Ivan was ill the Bells had John Mole over as a guest, but that prime chance to spread the disease to Desiderata Valley passed.
By now I'm questioning whether what Circe caught is really the Mystery Disease. Translation mistake, maybe?
