I'd hope vanity projects like recycling and global warming are forgotten and we work together like in the post WWII era and dream of building a futuristic society again.
But, short term we will realise RL is better than digital life. There will be a backlash to digital while at the same time having integrated it into our lives even more. So a mixed model will come out.
Medium term: Nationalism has been accelerated and developing countries are 5 years poorer.
IE: China hate has now been legitimized, they are the new Russia along with Russia is the new Russia as we realise they also hurt us in this crisis. Elections might be funny to mess with, pandemics is more war like.
C19 doesn't allow us to see the future anymore than before. So long term is unknown as always.
