The pandemic will feature prominently in fiction for many years. Every genre from scifi, dramas, horror, comedies, etc will be touched by it since the event has touched every person on earth. Themes around loneliness and isolation will be more common than before. The aesthetic will be sweatpants. The other big concept will be concentration camps, specifically the ones currently operated by the United States. China also has these, at a larger scale and with much, much worse treatment, but the megacorps that control western media are too cowardly to broach the subject until after they are banned from the country. Criticizing the US is less risky. Perhaps the next Nobel in literature will be written by a teenager currently laying on a concrete floor trying to console a toddler who was sprayed with a chemical prohibited by the Geneva Convention.
