The real problem is wealth. A lucky few will be able to hole up, but that'll only be the ones that can afford it; the rest will die from starvation.
I mean there was already alarm bells from UNESCO today or yesterday that the food program is at risk due to rising food costs due to the conflict in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, which in turn puts a lot of people that depend on that food program at risk.
And it's closer to home as well; the amount of people that start to rely on food banks has gone up sharply with the high inflation.
I mean it's dumb IMO; while all companies are eager to raise prices with inflation as soon as it happens, wages lag behind.
