DBWI Spanish flu hits later

Well, aside from causing normal mayhem all over the world, the Spanish Flu has been used as some sort of unstable bioweapon. Just ask to the Lubiana, when they leave their reserves, or what do the Upper Voltese think about it. Presumably there wouldn't have been such things, or not as much.

Also, we wouldn't have had a source for all those memes based on adverts promising a miracle cure for "the Temible Flu". With all that it entails for the "Dishonest Pharmacist" trope.

The anticipation to the inevitable European Twilight War (which I've Always found a bit melodramatic but whatever) is an interesting concept, but I believe no flu would have anticipated It by three years at best.

Like can you imagine a world without the Cure for Cancer or Tuberculosis?
"Cure for Cancer" was a bit of hyperbole, the Spanish Flu at best helped find a cure for lung cancer.

OOC: For real though, "cure for cancer" is a bit like the "item turning lead into Gold" of medicine.
