Depends on a lot of things, and 'end of the year' might not be a marker.

If the Enemy has it's way only 500 million or so people will be left on Earth, so 7-8 billion people will die.

Right now the Enemy is winning, at least it appears as if they are winning.

40% or so of the Marines are refusing the vaccines, the Navy is gonna be close to 100 percent goners, not sure about the Army , Air Force and Space Force.

Look to Jesus, ultimately He is our only Hope.

But to deal with the Evils Humans will present you can do some things, but I gotta ask; POTUS told you years ago to prepare for the Storm, why have you not done so? It's late in the game now, and many items you want are hard to get or more expensive today.

Store foods and water, have water filters and purification tablets, bleach will do just add 5-7 drops per gallon of water, stir and then let the bleach evaporate.

Stock meds and building supplies, have books with reference data, How-To books because the net will likely disappear. Have spare parts for those machines you can deal with, car or bicycle or generator or pumps or whatever. Print stuff off the net now if you can, you may need engineering data or medical data or cooking data or who knows what.

Have manual tools, saws and axes and shovels and hammers and nails and ropes and pulleys and lumber, be prepared to live primitive for weeks, maybe longer.

Plan how to defend your community if need be, how to travel safely, how to meet with Family who may need to travel to you.

Stock a few weapons and ammo - it's difficult to find ammo these days and arms are getting very scarce, but get something. It doesn't have to be an AR, a good shotgun is effective too.

Plan with your trusted neighbors and friends how you will help each other and defend your homes, know who you can trust and who you don't want around.

If you are in a northern or blue city you may want to consider someplace to go, a Boogaloo. I like to tell people to stay where they are and fight but in some cases that's suicide, only you know if it is safe or not.

Don't be afraid to Lead when that needs to be done, don't be afraid to ask for help, we will all have to help each other out. But careful who you trust.

My experience has been such that I know for a fact Humanity devolves real quickly, civilization ends when the Thundering Herds become scared, people ignore law (yeah I know, I know) and morality, they revert to animals just that quick.

Do what you can now, time is growing short, shorter depending on where you are. Good luck.
