I feel so left out in the cold. No flu for me. Maybe if I have Ned take his shirt off for his next job? I'd send Nelson's mom out, but I think I'd get something worse than the flu.
OK so I'm thinking...perhaps we don't do anything to spread it. Like hit a button or something. Maybe it's spread by the frequency of neighbor visits. Like the more neighbors you visit/visit you, the faster the numbers of infected rise. Random...everyone is not guaranteed to give the infection, but the higher the number of neighbor visits, the better your chances.
Did I state that clearly? If so, what does everyone else think?
Here's my guess - the higher your severity, the more contagious you are and the more people you can infect. So, you can probably still spread it at a lower severity, but you will not infect as many of your neighbours.
Also, once you have gotten the flu - I think the severity might increase with the amount of tourists you clear in your town (not sure if tapping buildings in neighbours towns increases it - haven't gotten to today's neighbours visits).
Not sure if I have gotten that right. But I think it sounds somewhat logical.
EDIT: someone just quoted me on this, and I don't think they saw that I said I was wrong about the tourists below, so I'll add this here too in case it gets quoted again:
I was wrong about the tapping tourists in my own town increasing the severity. I checked and it does seem that clearing the pins left by neighbours increased the severity
No, severity increases with the number of pins (shields) that you tap in your own town. I was infected this AM. I visited towns and tapped. Nothing on severity increase. Eventually those people came back to my town and tapped 3 buidlings and left pins (shields). THEN I tapped those and my severity increased one tick with each shield. EVERY pin shield at that point so far tapped from a neighbor visit increases my severity.

Having the same frustration here. I would seriously appreciate the favor of an Osaka infection from a sick neighbor (however gross that sounds...) At least, I'm guessing that's how it works?

Thx for the tap. I'm still trying to get infected. Just my luck. I haven't called in sick to work in over 5 years either.
