I wonder what the proportion is between pre-pandemic debt (fuelled by quantitative easing and low interest rates seemingly)and debt accrued during the pandemic?

Is it that the pandemic has uncovered a long-standing problem of high corporate debt since the 2008 Financial Crisis fuelled by quantitative easing and low interest rates? What other factors are at play here? Or am I completely wrong?

Hasn't the the vast majority of recent QE been done as a direct response to the pandemic? (Legit question, it's my impression but may be misinformed)
