Effects

The gene provides the player with a 1.25x in local infectivity in their origin country, although this initial effectiveness is reduced as the plague infects more and more people in that country.

• It's recommended in all speedrun games, as an early starting boost of 1.25x is really important. Although it is not recommended to use it in the Mad Cow Disease scenario, because the country's ports and airports would close earlier.
