I predict that there will be a movie where the characters wear masks and socially distance. It'll be like an artsy indie movie about how we live in a society and you'll watch it because everyone will be sharing their takes and you don't wanna be out of the loop and the movie will be ok.

    Someone will find a link between COVID in kids and seriously low academic outcomes, malnourishment and mental health problems. The media will latch onto it for a bit and there'll be loads of celebs, politicians etc. Banging on about it.

    Then they'll discover that they're actually just looking at the systemic effect of extreme poverty in the developed world on these kids and COVID is just incidental.

    Everyone quietly forgets about it.

    If you think this is too bleak, it's already happened more or less at least once with the 'crack babies' scare.
