It goes both ways. I can see what you're saying, but on the other hand I look at the sheer panic some communities experienced at the fear of running out of toilet paper and the anxiety people have over what might come next, and I just can't relate because I haven't missed the slightest beat in 2020. From simply going camping regularly, being involved in community emergency plans, and always buying in bulk to ensure I have a buffer, I think things could get several orders of magnitude worse before I'm even slightly inconvenienced. Local 911 stops responding to calls because they're overwhelmed during riots? Not to worry - that wilderness EMT course and the kit I built after it should cover most things life threatening things reasonably well. Grocery store is cleaned out or shut down for weeks? I'll just go check the basement shelves. Local school can't open without enough PPE? Oh I can supply a bunch of teachers with N95 masks for weeks and still have plenty for myself. All the utilities could shut down, and I could keep my family and several neighbors comfortable and safe for quite some time. I was a little less carefree than most people before this, but boy I'm relatively carefree now. There's been some real hardship for people in this pandemic that few could prepare for, but I was surprised how few people were prepared to have to stay in their home for a couple of weeks in areas that are routinely hit by natural disasters that might place a similar burden on them at any time. Now's a good time to evaluate if you can deal with other things that might happen: an ounce of preparation.
