With seeing how people behaved during covid (i.e learnt nothing) I wouldn't be surprised to see another pandemic/huge infection. If it has such a high mortality rate, then maybe we will see a slight shift in some people's behaviours, but I still think most won't change.

It’s probably worse than that. Since Covid had relatively low mortality after the first wave, and got so politicized, I think if there were another more dangerous pandemic a lot of people would simply not believe it until they experienced it first hand.
