Do you think the Covid-19 Pandemic also marks a “turning point” in world history?

Imagine you are a historian living one-hundred years from now in the year 2120 CE. You are reflecting on the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020 CE and are tasked with composing a thoughtful response (minimum of ½ a page, double-spaced, 12-point font, one-inch margins) to Alfred Crosby’s argument that ‘disease has been the most influential force in world history since the voyages of Christopher Columbus”: Do you agree or disagree with Crosby’s claim? Consider other examples of disease outbreak from this class, specifically smallpox. Do you think the Covid-19 Pandemic also marks a “turning point” in world history? Why or why not? Of course, the 1918 Spanish Influenza Pandemic and Covid-19 were not “apples and apples”; but, does the former inform our understanding of the latter in any useful way? Explain using any examples from the sources provided and from Alfred Crosby’s argument.https://www.npr.org/2020/05/14/856082009/what-we-might-learn-from-the-1918-flu-pandemic/
