That's the really scary thing: we will undoubtedly handle any future pandemic far worse than covid, unless it's far more lethal than covid (which itself killed over a million Americans and harmed exponentially more). And the bullshit negative lessons we took from covid make it more likely that a deadlier viral outbreak will grow into a pandemic in the first place.
