Ms. Syag >> Are you for real?
on peshat level, it seems to be the case that COVID may leave a lot of internal damage, not seen originally.
For me personally, the biggest shock of the pandemic is how many Jews and whole communities behave irresponsibly and feel no shame about it. Specifically, people who claim to learn. So, you learn all machlokets of Abbaye and Rava, subtle arguments of what is or is not real mesorah, you can use kal ve’homer, and you learn maris ayn, and all examples of behavior by Talmidei Chachamim – and then you disregard simple public health measures, kill your Rosh Yeshiva, and go to his funeral without the mask. I may have rachmonus on such a person, but for sure I do not want someone like that in my family.
