It will get shut down as this is an issue that is dividing everyone like other issues right now. Do you guys see things getting better and less turbulent in the world over the coming months? Or do you feel things will get more turbulent and people more divided?

It will get more divided.
I believe we're being separated right now. Sheep and goats. The sheep love the Truth, and will follow the good shepherd. The goats will not.
Hard times are ahead, especially in the US, i'm afraid. But God's will be done.

Friend Shawn,
I believe that your reference to sheep and goats is from a parable in Matt 25:31 which does not occur until after the return of Lord Jesus and the final judgment. What we see happening now has been happening since Lord Jesus ascended although it seems more intense during these last days, especially since we have world wide communication.
see also Matt 13:49, 2Cor 5:10

Hey Bob, I think the sheep and goats thing is a very common theme not limited to just this parable - it's happening now:
Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Joh 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
Joh 10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
Joh 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
If they aren't sheep then they're either the other sheep God is bringing into his fold or goats

Many people have died from COVID but the numbers seem to be inflated.
One reason is the hospitals get paid a LOT of money for each COVID admittance or death. A lot of temptation.
--- Quote ---Also, earlier this month, HHS announced a second round of federal relief for hospitals in high impact areas, totaling $10 billion.
Of that second-round money, HHS reported 63 California hospitals received $50,000 for each eligible coronavirus patient they admitted between Jan. 1 and June 10, 2020. That's a combined total of more than $607 million.

I just saw a broadcast asserting that no less than 50% of all adults are suffering from anxiety disorders due to the lockdowns, social distancing, masks, and the endless negative media hype. I’m not trying to imply that I know the best way to handle the situation, but the collateral damage is mounting. Undiagnosed and untreated diseases, lost incomes and businesses, collapsing economies … and now, monetary hyperinflation is on the horizon. Fudging the statistics for financial gain does not help. It contributes to all of the above. Those in the medical business should know better. Unfortunately, it is a business that, on a certain level, does not necessarily have the best interest of the people in mind. Very soon, our society is going reach the point of “The operation was a success, but the patient died.”
