18 months sounds about right. There will be small gaps of near-normalcy. For those gaps, I recommend that us non-FluBros STOCK UP on as much as possible (the FluBros will still be whining about the fact that the Coronavirus has ‘only killed’ 150,000 Americans, when cancer kills twice as many, or something like that).

Be ready to grab as much as you can when things ease up a bit, and then let the FluBros enjoy the lines at Costco, since they’ll be convinced the entire ‘fraud’ is over while we’re re-stocking.
