Yeah, this is tame compared to WW II. My mom told me about nightly blackouts so that enemy aircraft could not use city lights as a beacon for bombing raids. Rationing of gasoline and food items. Nightly curfews. Precious metals diverted to the war effort (remember steel pennies?)
Our parents survived years of this. We can survive a few months. This too shall pass.
