 Apocalypse How: The Synthetic Plague is at least a Societal Disruption, since it is intentionally designed to kill anyone who has ever had multiple sex partners, and spreads through the air so that settling down in a monogamous relationship after sowing your wild oats can't save you. The revelation that the proteins in breastmilk also activate the virus's kill switch, killing babies regardless of the chastity of their mothers pushes this potentially into Societal Collapse range if a cure or vaccine isn't discovered in time, and possibly even Human Extinction if everyone who was once breastfed is lethally affected.
