This is really not the case. People did not do anything, the increased prices and government mandates did. Yeah people survived this year, and will continue doing so, except those of course who will get fucked up. What happens is that indeed we have a lot of layers to fall from one down to the next one and again and again without reaching the bottom yet.

We've had this in the 70s, with the oil recessions.

20 years later we had cars using up half the gasoline and with 2x the horsepower.

Humans need a solid kick in the behind sometimes.
