In view of the "Woke" phenomenon and the LGBTQ etc. movement, I think we can see that a huge portion of the public should be in a mental hospital already. Getting hit in the face by any reality---even what we already know---may send them over the edge (think reaction to a Trump electoral victory).
As for other things, I think Q is overblown. The vast majority of people have to cope with all kinds of unexpected tragedy, loss, injury, debilitating illnesses, and misfortunes, and we don't think for a moment that the nation as a whole needs to be put in hospital. Ever been near a volcanic eruption? Been there, done that. It is at the level of "forgettable." It is typical of the enlightened to have the conceit that they are better "prepared" than the common person to assimilate bad news. As someone who needed and had open-heart surgery when least expecting it, I just call it bullshit. Life turns on a dime, and we turn with it. It doesn't kill us...even though we imagine it would.
