This wouldn't explain the low population of the shire. (Unless there is a "The Time Machine" type scenario. :( )

Does Taiwan becoming a successful democracy mean that China can? Taiwan is a small homogenous island, China, and more clearly Russia for that matter, is an empire. I fear China would fragment probably in bloody civil war if central power we

We will find out eventually whether the Oxford University vaccine works or becomes an example of "and then nothing". But it is definitely not a "and then nothing" yet.
