A feeling of ennui begins to infect the populace. First at a small rural community where farmers stop farming and fisherman stop fishing. Then in suburban areas where soccer moms stop shopping and kids stop playing. Then to the more metropolitan areas. Telecommunications, electricity, water, and all other utilities are shut down as the workers no longer work. The disease does not leave North America as the pilots no longer fly their planes. Eventually people stop eating, drinking or sleeping and they all waste away. Some time later other countries send over highly trained medical personnel to figure out what happened but they too are overcome by the ennui and end up bringing the disease back to the rest of the world. Thus humanity ends in a fit of boredom.
