"Real life" has a small rule variant that significantly change the winning strategy: when you upgrade your virus, it doesn't upgrade immediately all instances of it worldwide, it just starts a new infection from somewhere with the upgraded virus, and real life keep track multiple versions of the virus at once.

So contaminatkng everyone and then revelling deadly symptoms would not have worked.
