COVID-19 - An Amazing Scientific Triumph Coupled With Political Failure

COVID has been an amazing scientific triumph, coupled with political failure. Never in history was humanity so powerful in the scientific tools it had to deal with a pandemic. In the long run, generally, pandemics have a smaller impact on history than other catastrophes like wars. The First World War shaped the modern world. Even you think about something like art, so many new art forms came out of the trenches. And how historians in a hundred years would look at events simply depends on what we make.
