COVID potentially kills older and more vulnerable people. This might have reduced the burden for some people.
Of course payed by death which is never good but perhaps from a statistics point of view in 10 years.
I thought about this also when thinking about climate change and I think that might have a much more general bad effect.
In a world with a lot of riches (tons of still existing infrastructure) strong weather scenarios can destroy old and critical infrastructure much faster than time.
USA only were able to get more budget for infrastructure with Biden and have a huge deficit.
COVID is very weird as human life feels very cheap. While lots of people don't want to wear a mask (low effort) to save a life and in parallel we pay so much money as a society when someone has cancer and needs very expensive medication.
Let's give that person x access to medical procedures which cost a million and let others die while it would cost us much less to help them.for me personally COVID tanked my general assumption that we would be much more reasonable.
While I think you underestimate what this means for a lot of 'other' people than 'us' (comparable rich people) it has hard/deadly affects already.
And even less human critical things are also dramatic just not for everyone. When you tell me all coral reefs are dying I really think this is very bad.
It potentially explains more/better/more fine-grained how our future will look like.this will not suddenly revert our assumptions on CO2 being the fundamental factor of man made global warming.

Not sure how to determine the loose on trust.
