My most obvious prediction is that the long term, sometimes permanent damage Covid does to survivors will become harder and harder to deny. The result will be a crippled and damaged workforce in all countries that played fast and stupid with effective public health measures.

This will eventually be understood to be one of those spectacularly irrational failures of public policy that is remembered for centuries.

Covid itself will be tamed by UV-C in 2024, but there's still some way to go before that starts to happen.

Climate catastrophe will really start to bite with more and more unprecedented and incredibly destructive extreme weather events.
