*** Danger: Paywall!
WSJ is calling the post-covid economic recovery unprecedented, with minimal lingering damage, and new opportunities and businesses expected to more than make up for what damage there was.
“We’ve never had anything like it—a collapse and then a boom-like pickup,” said Allen Sinai, chief global economist and strategist at Decision Economics, Inc. “It is without historical parallel.”
Inflation might throw a curve-ball, naturally.

So, “what happens next time?”
I know billions of people are presently being impacted by CV. However, I’m comfortable saying the pandemic has ended in the US. We’re in the psychological recovery period which will extend into flu season. Then what?
From now on there will always be double maskers in our society. I personally believe the government spent their capital on CV overreaction. Current generations won’t stand for another response like the last 18 months-largely acknowledged as very political rather than purely science-based.

Plan A should be take the fight to the "enemy", ie get ahead of future bugs (whether they live in labs or the wild). Plan B would be the response.
Presumably such a plan should include whole of government and whole of society response, so they'll have a matrix for when and where to offer what types of aid... so you don't have congress critters holding up vital medical and financial aid for museum, performing arts, etc.

Asians have been doing that for as long as I can remember, a few won't hurt anything. Helps to identify people I probably don't want to talk to anyway.

The reality is, however, State governments responded a lot better than the Federal government, as was intended. I praise Operation Warp Speed, but this whole experience has proven the need for “civilian oversight” from the actual citizenry. “All politics is local,” and governors are a lot easier to hold to account than any federal official.
Like you I personally applaud anyone who double masks.

It’s a big world out there and terrorists can choose their time and place. That’s what makes asymmetric warfare work. Terrorists are going to have their victories. But using commercial airplanes as a vehicle for mass destruction was not a technique that was successful even one full day, due to the passengers on that flight. Hopefully everyone remembered their sacrifices too this last Memorial Day.
