Everytime that there has been a pandemic of uniquely deathly proportion(so not coronavirus), it has usually been followed by people turning to God and religion, and renewing communities and cities as people commit to rebuilding their localities and quit taking each other for granted.
It has been known that the social bonds in the US(as well as the west) have been frayed for a long time, and I'm thinking that a worldwide pandemic of black death fatalities would be just the thing we need. I find that a lot of people would quit judging each other for what others believe when faced with such a deadly disease, and quit the insufferable vanity that is woke politics as everyone comes to realize that it and their useless virtual signals will give them nothing when on their death bed at the ripe old age of 35. For once, people may actually come to priorities their families and their communities over that of their own personal, financial, or selfish political interests.
It should be then, of some comfort that such a disease may not be far on the horizon. If this coronavirus was created in a lab, as some will say, then sure even more fatal viruses are already in labs. idk about anyone else, but I am happy that there isn't another preachy hollywood movie or artist event expected in the near future.
