The real problem?
All the "preppers" are waiting for the "big collapse" when the past year is showing that it might not be a "big collapse", but a series of things you though you had survived and were over, that culminate in a slow, lingering retreat for all on board.
Rome did not fall, and the dark ages did not start in a single day. It took two generations for the troops to leave Hadrian's Wall, the Roman villa system to slow to a halt due to lack of trade, the cities to empty and the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Vikings to replace the Celtic male gene pool with their own.
The entire system did not "collapse" the day the Romans sent the letter that told the Romans in Britain they were on their own. Society had been wilting for 50 years and would continue for another 100 before someone looked at a Roman ruin and said "Who built that? We don't make that kind of thing any more!"
The sickness we just dealt with for 18 months is nothing compared to the financial situation it has caused due to bad planning and appeasement at the highest levels. Soon we will wish that we had weathered the storm without the complete closure of the world economy.
Most of us, at our age, even though we have been preppers for decades, have our homesteads and crops, may never see the end of the coming "recession".
