Covid was a radical shift in pretty much every part of modern society. It affected every single facet of peoples lives, and was ever changing for a good few months until we got a handle on it, and then again when the vaccines came out.
Work/school/gorcery/daycare on and on changed all at once. Huge shifts in technology, the stock market shattered and then surged, jobs got easier to get and the harder, the global supply chain imploded, more and more.
It wasent mad Max style SHTF, but it killed 10s of millions and changed billions of lives. That’s a pretty shtf/black swan event to me.
There sure was an overreaction but a lot of the things we did wasn’t a very big deal in hindsight from SHTF perspective. Avoid other people for a while and work from home is a far cry from logistic chain breaking down and people fighting over food and shit.
I’m glad you were able to ride it out with little impact on your life, but I didn’t have that experience. It was a drastic and frantic shift that included losing relatives for me.

It was honestly pretty chill if you ask me.

I did not find it chill.
That sucks.
