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