I’m hoping that whatever the future holds that is not pretty (and there are many scenarios, some unfolding at present) will wake up enough people who are slumbering in the miasma of gross materialism, “me me me-ism”, just plain stupidism, leftism, and so on - to turn the country (and it’s not just our country, actually) around in the right direction.
And pandemic, even if the virus attenuates to a mere 10% CFR - case fatality rate - will disrupt stuff terribly - the illness itself, but supply chains, JIT delivery, emergency responders, hospitals and more will be all messed up. The WHO and CDC are being grossly negligient currently in releasing information about what is currently going on in SE Asia, especially Indonesia and (who the heck knows about) China.
But back to your point - the breakdown of common social and moral values is what is destroying and rotting everything from within. These must be brought back to life or we are doomed as a civilization.
I wasn’t clear - when I said “it’s not just our country” I meant this spiritual sickness is spreading rampant all over the world. And Islamic jihad and culture is a by-product. It claims to be religious but is off the cliff into severe psychopathology that has nothing to do with God, and everything to do with hate and violence. But the problem is that western countries and even India, which has seen the evils perpetrated by Islam up close and personal since the early 700s, have no guts or courage to deal with it as they should.
