The world hasn't seen anything like what we are dealing with exactly at least since the Spanish Flu in 1918 to 1920

 What I mean by this is that the pandemic was the first punch to the Global Supply chains. Now, the Ukraine war is the 2nd punch to the supply chains and then there is things like 120 degrees in New Delhi or Global climate changes that is the fatal blow for many people on earth regarding basic survival and food survival.

So, if Covid didn't do enough damage in killing 1 million tested and 9 million not tested in the U.S. and Who knows how many worldwide (50 million so far likely) if you include tested and non-tested. Then if you look at how Zero Covid has become and unmitigated disaster (at least at this point) for China and likely will remain a disaster through the summer or even into next winter because of the lack of vaccinations (even Sinovax) in much of the population of China. And Sinovax is only 30% effective for the people who actually got it (ONLY under 45 or 50 year olds actually were allowed to get even this 30% effective shot.

Now we have the Ukraine war basically wiping out 30% of the wheat crop able to move freely to those who actually need it and Russia stealing Ukraine's grains and shipping them to Syria now. So, we should expect a 30% shortfall in grains this year worldwide to some degree and starvation especially in places like Africa and Asia and possibly South America as well as a direct result of all these things destroying supply chains of food and goods now worldwide.

So, if you were wondering why the U.S. stock market just dropped 1600 points or so today these are just some of the reasons which are mostly because of supply chains so messed up it likely will take 2 years for food and goods supply chains to recover.

And even if they recover it's not going to be the same way things were before 2019 at all. Everything is changing much like it did in the 1930s and 1940s in this present shift that began with Covid worldwide.

Because basically globalization and world interdependence is over (at least for now).

We don't know what it all will look like 5 or 10 or 20 years from now at all (at least at this point).
