(Of course that's just the global population but, apparently, 'developed' countries' birth-rates had been falling long before C19.)
I'm waiting for you to tell me that the turbo cancers and heart attacks are just getting going. (That could be, but other, similar/related things could fold in like the assorted ingredients of a cake mix.)
While I wait, I'll add that population might take a dive anyway, due in part to peak oil having come and gone and general civilizational decline and/or collapse and the wars, diseases and social unrests that can come of those.
It's a bit like the climate-change FUD where, if civilization is running out of oil, etc., we'll be 'responding to climate-change' anyway.
Or like telling someone to leave when they're already heading toward the door. Kind of baked-in.
We won't need any girls with knitted brows from Sweden, huffing and puffing and brow-beating us about it.
Question: Do our local grocery, etc., stores owe us a living? What about those who constitute our governments? What happens when/if they fold up for good overnight?

They are replacing those US citizens who refuse to live a third world lifestyle in a first world country, with those who are happy to live a third world lifestyle in a first world country.
It's all relative. Americans will not hang drywall for $10/hour, nor live eight to a two-bedroom apartment. The immigrants will, and happily so.
Out with the discontents and in with the happy.

I teach my sons, now 20 and 21, no one owes us anything. We're entitled to what we earn - nothing more, nothing less.
If they all fold up for good overnight, I'd be delighted. Things will go dystopian, but Darwinian, I'll be fine.
Thanks again for checking in Zazzy, I miss your food-related metaphors. :-) What's up with the coffee shop?
Good morning, I've been looking for your menu online, without much success, because I can't remember the exact name of your coffee shop. Pretty sure that the word "Sweet" is in the name. Can you please tell me if you serve peach cobbler with buttermilk ice cream, drizzled in honey? <3
Peach cobbler and buttermilk ice cream sounds delish, a winning combination. Depending on the sweetness, I might dispense with the honey, though. Mind you, it could always be an ingredient in the ice-cream, itself. I know how to make ice cream/gelato, incidentally, and have wanted for some time to get a small home ice cream machine-- the kind that is like a small freezer around the cylinder that mixes the ice-cream and whose blades slowly shave what freezes onto its surface, into the mix.
If I can get enough income from the residences, maybe we can splurge for a Crystal Cricket Cafe/Teahouse, if only to have you as one of our Menu Consultants.
How cool is that? A Menu Consultant. That's the only thing you'd need on your resume...
"Who? Ron Anselmo? Oh, yes, he's been a Menu Consultant in good standing with us for decades... Can you afford him?"
Oh, well its called the Crystal Cricket Cafe. The physical location is not yet established but you can certainly visit psychically at the moment. But yes, absolutely that is on the menu. Would you care for a coffee liqueur with it? <3

Also, it doesn't seem to be working, if this thing is any indication:
