Extreme lockdowns will probably last for a few months, but some measures might even be retained throughout the 1T. They might be the focal point of neo-Missionary rebellion.

Financial Crisis 2008
Migrant Crisis 2015
Populist Crisis 2016-ongoing (foretaste since 2006, as the neocon-neoliberal consensus started to erode)
Coronavirus 2020

Somebody referred to this 4T as a cascade of crises, it seems accurate.

I agree that this crisis period has seen a lot of serious events that have been addressed well and not so well.  If this one goes sideways due to piss-poor management by our faux-leaders, I doubt we'll need more to get us realigned.

Remember, we started way too early with 9/11 (handled poorly, but no less severe).  We don't need to make mental adjustments.  Young adults will vote in this election who weren't even born in 2001.  They have the crisis mentality in full.
