re: Will we ever see anything in our lifetime as crazy as covid?

Depends on if you plan on dying this year

Just wait until a small band of a couple hundred people get together for the first time and start slinging lead guerilla style.

You have seen how stuff shuts down at the Federal and local LEO level and the news revolves completely around it for simple lone wolf stuff.

It will be straight up chaos in the streets all over rolling into open target warfare for a while.

It would take almost nothing to bring about collapse.
