Not really sustainable, I don’t think. There were shortages of all sorts of food and supplies in the first year alone. Also, during that time the rich got a lot richer.
To be fair if it were to happen again or an asteroid hit us carrying a deadly disease I think we would be a lot more prepared for another round so to speak, human nature is always to prepare for a conflict of interaction of some sort in one way or another
I think by now the supply and demand normalized to what it was before the pandemic. In general markets will only create as many goods as is optimally profitable. I haven’t seen any massive warehousing companies pop up overnight to store potable goods for the end times, so probably not going to happen next time.

Yeah, it seems like people forgot about the PPP “loans” which were basically a 5 o’clock free money giveaway for the wealthy.
