Act II

After the drop of the atom bombs in Japan, "The Love Bug" spreads rapidly. Within three years the entire global population is infected. Birth rates around the world began to drop, diseases like cancer halted their progression, many people started to age rapidly. The U.S. attempts to cover up the cause of the disease, but when it is leaked to the public in 1955 the are forced to take responsibility. Riots ensue, the population of Earth hits a stand still. Couples age and die at an accelerated rate. Those who have found love become known as "The Aged." Suicide rates increase as the world falls into chaos. Civil wars and rebellions spread like wild fire, leading to WWIII. This culminates in the rounding up and assassination of all the world leaders in 1980.
