Suppose what we now know as COVID-19 hit the world exactly 21 years earlier than in real life. (I guess it would then have been called COVID-98?)
So then, rather than hitting the USA hard in March 2020, it hits the USA hard in March 1999, after Clinton’s impeachment trial ended, and shortly before the US started its bombing campaign against Yugoslavia over the Kosovo issue. The “invisible primary” for 2000 has just barely started.
The worldwide web exists, and so WFH is possible to a very limited extent for some jobs, but on nowhere near the scale we saw in 2020 IRL. mRNA vaccines are not likely to appear any time soon.
So then, what happens in the 2000 presidential primaries for both parties, and what happens in the 2000 GE?
