This is a valid question now for all of us. Since I presently expect 2 billion 600 million likely will get infected by Coronavirus (whether they demonstrate any symptoms or not) during the next 2 years time we are all sort of "In for it".
So, asking whether you will survive the next few years here on earth is as valid a question as it was during World War II or the Great Depression.
There is a saying: "There are no atheists in Foxholes" which is one that comforts me a lot after all I have been through in my life from whooping cough to blunt trauma epilepsy to 2 divorces and 3 marriages to 3 biological children and several step children or adopted children as well including two Grandchildren now as well.
When I was 7 through 10 I believed in God but not necessarily in religion because every religious person I knew I thought was kind of crazy in a variety of ways in the 1950s when I grew up I was born just after World War II ended.
But then I fell while rock climbing with my father and got a concussion which I was never treated for (we didn't go to doctors much then because they didn't know as much was they do now. So, my father didn't trust doctors beyond getting stitches or fixing a broken arm or leg much at all). So, from my father's and Grandfather's point of view you only went to a hospital to get stitches or mend a broken limb or to die and for no other reason then.
But, because I started having night time seizures from my concussion from ages 10 to 15 I started to be forced to get more God and religion into my life in order to survive this time in my life which obviously I did. I would be having a dream and then I would be attacked in a dream and lose my fight and then go into a seizure and wake up an hour or so later while shaking. This was sort of like being murdered at least 4 times or more a year at night each time with the com·men·su·rate problem of the trauma involved in experiencing being murdered several times a year.
When I was around 21 or 22 and going to Palomar College I took a course in Cultural Anthropology and the professor defined what a Shaman was and the definition in the text then was: "Someone who has psychologically died but whose body still lives who lives in both the world of the living and the world of the dead and sometimes can heal people mentally, physically and spiritually because of this because they live in both worlds."
This described my experience perfectly and defined what I had become. I find many medicine men who are Native Americans and many ministers of all religions are also natural shamans too because of the trauma this causes but also makes some people like Saint Francis of Asisi who through severe PTSD from battle Became the name sake of places like San Francisco, California as a Saint and who was the founder of the Franciscan Order of the Catholic church as well.
So, becoming a Shaman might create really amazing people in the future because it always has in the past too.

So, will you survive the next few years here on earth?
That's entirely up to you and God at this point.
