It took several years longer than expected, but finally in 2030 Covid ended. Unfortunately it claimed a lot of lives with it. The latest variant proved so deadly it killed most within a day. This meant the virus was able to kill itself off but taking the host with it. The final toll was high, very high. A lot of business collapsed without workers and the population had become much smaller. Luxury businesses, or ones less important to the survival of humanity quickly diminished leaving essential workers as some of the most important. However, humans are adaptable and life quickly resumed at its normal pace, with life being a bit less crowded. Many of the political fights ongoing ceased as surviving was much more important. The fight to overturn Roe vs Wade was abandoned and, given that it was no longer considered essential, abortion was abolished completely. No matter what anyone believes, the truth is America is a patriarchal society as men, from hunter-gatherer tribes up until now, have always ruled. As such the creation of life was deemed very important and the rules had changed. Suddenly what certain states considered statutory wasn’t. Nor was it worth being deemed a sex crime. With the population shrunken so small, a lot of rules had been overturned and the “rights” of females everywhere had begun dissipating. Being a stay at home mom to raise kids slowly became the expectation for many women. With the abolishment of all birth control with the exception of condoms, pregnancy became a real threat when it came to any unprotected sex.
