A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

People forgot about the similar pandemic in 1919 or so. Everything repeated, including the anti-vaxxers.
So yes it will happen again and again. As will war, and everything else shit yet inherent in human nature.
I saw pictures of everyone wearing masks during the 1919 pandemic. And that was before everyone had cameras in their pockets. OP is exaggerating, people aren't going to forget about it.
