Globetrotter flu

Globetrotter flu was a strange disease that arose sometime in the early 2000s, prevailed till the 2030s and then died down as mysterously as it came. Mortality from the disease was close to zero, but it accounted for a great deal of lost manpower. Sufferers beagn with allergy-like symptoms that persisted with low grade fever on and off for about six months, then the disease spontaneously resolved. By 2020 it was endemic throughout the world, and nearly 100 percent of every population had been exposed. howver, since the disease posed no threat to life and limb it was largely ignored by disease control authorities.

Rumours connected globetrotter flu with Humane Choice, largely because rumour also said that a bout of the disease produced the same effect as three doses of Humane Choice: men who took it had sons for the rest of their lives. Ramdhun medicare did a survey to determine this in 2025, but the results were not published.
