More useful disease display

[Ellilea]

Knowing the amount of sick duplicants doesn't cut it for me. I want to know the risk - who's at risk/who should be kept safe/who's contagious (whatever the system accounts for now, I got a bit lost somewhere along the changes, I know immunity system is no longer here [RIP, I liked it]). The stress display is a nice "heads up!" about something bad that's going to happen that gives me a chance to react and prevent. The sickness display is pretty useless.

If I was running a base with a 100 dupes, ye, sure, I guess it could serve as an efficiency meter/hospital-need meter, but normally people have what, 10 dupes? 15? I've never had a base over 10 cause I didn't want to risk lag or whatnot and they were sufficient.

It's pretty clear when someone's sick and when they are, it's already too late to care anyway. I'd rather have that display tell me something I can make some use of and not just look and say "I see", it doesn't add much ;<

I remember the immunity of my miner dropping after a slime excursion. Watching if it goes to 0 and needs a hospital or if it starts climbing back up after I isolated him. I also had a reason to keep everything squeaky clean not to add unnecessary food poisoning germs or what not on him. That was an interactive thing displayed by a helpful meter.

So far this information is not needed. After dupe contacts with bacteria, you cannot do anything. This is just random. "Relax and let it happens."

Only important thing is slimelung sick dupes - they can spread disease, and you can make something violent to them, like lock them out in small closet. 

If we cannot do anything - we do not need any information about

Actually while you can`t do anything about the dupe exposed you can prevent further exposures. If i get a warning that my dupe is exposed to germs i can track it down easier and earlier than when one gets infected. Even a second column saying "exposed" and the first for "sick" would provide useful info that you can work with. The diseases could be color coded in there as well (make it red if there are multiple).
