The thing which really bothers me is that if there's that many deaths, it's not just the material world affected: what happens to the inner planes? Does anyone know what having that many people going through into the afterlife will look like?
I suspect that the ones who are able to transition more or less peacefully because they have some spiritual grounding won't be a problem. However, I can imagine the Middle Astral Plane experiencing a surfeit of very cognitively and emotionally dissonant spirits for those who are not able to transition as peacefully.
After Japan got hit by a tsunami combined with an earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi meltdown, many of the people who died in the disasters got stranded and manifested on the etheric plane as ghosts. Cab drivers report picking up passengers who would later disappear out of the back of the cab. This is the sort of thing that happens when a dead person does not realize they have died and continue to go through the motions of life as if nothing has happened. I think we are going to see a lot of people stranded between the First and Second Death as the consequences of the MRNA quackxines come full circle. The Lower Astral is already teeming with more problems than usual. Processing times may become very slow. I speculate that hauntings will become as common as dirt in the near future.
My sister was like that. She died suddenly at 37. For a few years after, I'd meet her sometimes in dreams, and it'd be like... usually some random, passing-through kind of place. A yard sale. A roadside diner. She had reverted to her early-20s self, before marriage and kids. She didn't seem to know who she was or what had happened to her, like an amnesiac. I always woke up trying desperately to explain it to her. We did a memorial service at the 7-year mark, and I think she's moved on now. I don't have those dreams anymore.
I wouldn't want to see hordes of people stuck that way.
I could see an uptick in ghosts being yet another mark against Progress and materialism. If the fox situation breaks down in a more widely accepted way, a lot of people will stop believing. Then an increase in "unexplained" occurrences might pull more people away. Perhaps it would add fuel to the Second Religiosity as well.
I think the salary class, at least the salary class in my area in a 90 percent vaxxed portion of Leftistland, is in psychotic break right now. Lots of masks and an atmosphere of fear as an uncanny number of ambulances scream down the roads. People gleefully double-vaxxing their kids so they can go on jet plane journeys over the holidays.
