As ridiculous, as it sounds, but when covid started in China, I stockpiled food and family looked at me as some weirdo. Never did this before, but my gut feeling was, that it will not end well at that time. For some time it was as I predicted, but then normalized, but could be worse. So you never know.
So some chance, even if it sounds ridiculous for most, there could be. Nowadays everyone have and can post their opinion online. Everyone here has their own theory which they figured out or listened to someone.
We will see what will happen, when it will happen. Just be ready for the worse and hope for the best.
