How will it be told in the history books? or the internet whichever one you prefer.
I think because this was a worldwide event it will be told from many different perspectives.
Here are my thoughts:
The source of the virus I believe will be generally recognize as China as the central starting point. The control of containment, the blame will shift to the political leaders of each country and depending on how well they did will determine how long they will stay in office. The economic impact will be analyzed by the type of government, capitalism or socialism just to name a few. The cost will either be paid for by the people or not. And lastly, technology will have a big impact in how we leveraged the tech aspect of the pandemic.
All of this will be studied for years to come. And I can't even imagine how many books and movies will be created from this event.
