Because America is an overachiever, it managed to achieve not one, but two, of the unpleasant scenarios spelled out in that document.

The authors identify four possible reactions to an event. Two are most relevant: One is called “lockstep,” defined as “a world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback.” Another is “hack attack,” an “economically unstable and shock-prone world in which governments weaken, criminals thrive, and dangerous innovations emerge.” There are two more on page 16. For my purpose here, they are less relevant.
The treatise is careful to point out that the scenarios they present are stories, not forecasts. That warning is necessary because…well, you’ll see.
Flip, if you would, please, to page 18. The lockstep scenario posits a pandemic. It is virulent and, in the model, kills mostly healthy adults, 8 million people globally in 7 months. It describes society coming to a screeching halt, with industries like tourism, travel, local businesses, and offices all closed. In this scenario, the one country that fares best is China, which uses a seemingly admirable totalitarian approach, sealing its country, quarantining all citizens, and swiftly ending its pandemic.
It then describes a world with national leaders imposing draconian rules and restrictions, from face masks to temperature checks. “Even after the pandemic faded, this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified…leaders around the world took a firmer grip on power.”
The scenario posits that at first, people willingly give up privacy and sovereignty to more paternalistic states, in exchange for greater safety. Independence of thought is stifled. In the narrative, it takes 13 years for citizens to weary of this control, which enables rampant cronyism and corruption.

Oooogh...Let’s try the one that turns out really bad!!!
If the regime continues its idiotic path, it might be much shorter than 13 years.
Plus the administration that developed the vaccine has legt the White House.
As much as Biden wants credit for that he doesn’t get it.
It then describes a world with national leaders imposing draconian rules and restrictions, from face masks to temperature checks.
“Even after the pandemic, authoritarian control and oversight of citizens intensified…....a firmer grip on power" was the fallout.
In this scenario, China is the one country that fares best, using a totalitarian approach, sealing its country, quarantining all citizens, and swiftly ending its pandemic.
