I agree with you about the severeness of this event over the others (except for covid, none of those crises were global for example), but during each of those crises I’ve heard experts say these are things that just happen ‘once every century’ with an example of how that thing happened less than a century ago. Just like once-in-a-century floods, although they are definitely not as global (imagine that!). The only thing thing I haven’t dealt with twice so far is a pandemic, although if you look at what’s happening in the us that might also not take another century.
Those weren’t “once in a century” level crises. This is like The Great Depression and World Wars level shockwaves.
