I think COVID (and the 2020 events, especially in the USA - I was living in Minneapolis at that time, so I might be biased) increased mental health awareness. For everyone, but especially for "essential workers".

Supply chain improvements have been made to increase diversification and resilience.

There was a lot of individualism to cast a shadow, but also cooperation and solidarity was shining on a small scale (hobbyist 3d-printing and donating shields and face mask relief thingies), but also globally.

Without getting into the healthcare and technology advancements we accomplished as a species.

I guarantee you stock prices will go up in ten years when new CEOs dismantle all that redundancy in order to improve profit margins for two quarters.
