I can vouch that the covid issue has raised the armageddon alarms around my area. My wife is fully convinced that between riots, covid and the election that the end is here.
What I have seen is that once these issues pass us by and things return to relatively normal she will be disappointed that we didn't all die at armageddon and she'll be moody for a couple weeks. Then the next crisis will occur and the end will be close yet again. over and over and over and over
