Main Tile Progression

Tile	Virus	Info
2		Highly contagious and a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis. It spreads through contaminated food, water, or surfaces, often causing large community outbreaks each year.
4		A major cause of severe diarrhea and dehydration in infants and children. Before vaccines, it caused hundreds of thousands of deaths annually, especially in developing nations.
8		A liver-targeting virus that can lead to chronic infection, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Over 250 million people live with chronic Hepatitis B globally, despite vaccine availability.
16		Commonly known as the flu, this fast-mutating virus causes yearly epidemics. Some strains, like the 1918 Spanish flu, have killed millions, shaping global health systems.
32		The virus behind the 2002–2003 SARS outbreak, transmitted from animals to humans. It caused severe respiratory illness and had a high fatality rate among the elderly.
64		Emerging in 2009, this influenza strain spread rapidly worldwide. Although less deadly than feared, it infected millions and revealed how fast pandemics can move in modern times.
128		Transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, Zika gained global concern for its link to severe birth defects such as microcephaly during the 2015–2016 outbreak in the Americas.
256		Spread by mosquitoes, Dengue causes intense fever, joint pain, and in severe cases, hemorrhagic shock. Rising temperatures and urbanization have boosted global infection rates.
512		The virus that causes AIDS, HIV attacks the immune system. Despite no cure, modern antiretroviral therapy allows millions to live long, healthy lives since its discovery in the 1980s.
1024		First identified in 1976, Ebola causes severe internal bleeding and has extremely high fatality rates. Outbreaks in Africa have sparked major global health responses.
2048		Closely related to Ebola, this virus causes deadly hemorrhagic fever with rapid onset and high mortality, often originating from contact with infected bats or primates.
