In the Star Trek episode, The Omega Glory (1968), the crew discovers a parallel Earth where the Chinese Communists (Kohms) won a biological war against the Yankees (Yangs), who, reduced to a primitive state, are slowly retaking the land they had lost.

While the Chinese may have not engineered the COVID-19 virus, its release into the West and particularly the U.S. may have an effect like a real biological war: economic dislocation, political chaos, and large casualties. The Chinese Communist totalitarian methods of controlling the virus have proven superior to the on again, off again shutdowns in the West.

Even loss of territory may be a long-term effect if COVID-19 causes male sterility, a possibility raised in several studies and reports largely ignored by the mainstream media. As U.S. population decreases, there will be corporate pressure to increase immigration to maintain the economy.

According to the Migration Policy Institute, Chinese immigration has grown nearly seven-fold since 1980, and China became the country sending the most immigrants to the United States in 2018, replacing Mexico.
