Shock Doctrine, and we can't even organize and protest

If enforced social distancing is the new normal, until there is a vaccine - which may never come - then how will people be able to organize and demand political change?

A tragic consequence of the Coronavirus is that all those anti-neoliberal social movements that took off last year all around the world, will now not be possible/allowed.

Are neoliberal elites going to use this crisis to further concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few, to expand authoritarian surveilance, and to further suppress dissent, thus effectively turning us into a much shitter version of China? At least over there they seem to have a system that puts people before corporate profit!
