How will we look back at the COVID pandemic in the light of history?

@urusan it is THE turning point where everyone was forced to question authority even though they were told they are evil if they do so.

@urusan It'll be like the Spanish flu that nobody talks about and learned nothing from.

@urusan watershed moment for the zoomers who had their educations stunted and saw a major paradigm shift in the world that they were about to enter. 9/11 was the millennial "oh we were coming of age and this suddenly happened" thing

@count_bobby I meant to include gen Z in that choice, but there's a balance between verbosity and wording accuracy (plus a character limit). I originally wrote "our" generation.You can have a watershed moment any time in your life, not just during one's coming of age. However, some are bigger than others, and THE watershed moment is one that stands above all the others, like WW2 for any generation that lived through it.

@urusan @count_bobby I think COVID might be the Gen Z watershed, but more likely something more epoch making will overshadow it like with the Spanish flu.
