Corona spreads through air by huimans in close contact and Corona is still around. Corona also keeps creating mutations and the entire epedemic created a chain or butterfly impact having impact on social and economic systems world wide.
A nightmare or worst case scenario could be that Corona creates both way more different mutations and pockets of Covid versions.
The first can happen, if basically nature just wants it to happen in a humid, warm environment, if the Virus is both ignored and bypasses imune system resistance and vaccination.
That could cause increased economic and social problems that can accumulate to potential dramtic limitations in movement. Those could create pockets for mutated versions of the virus sperated by limited human traffic into other areas in mutation appropriate climate that might have more sever impact for outsiders than for the trapped locals having build up an immunity from prior versions.
So, if Cyberpunk turns reality the slang will be less of an indicator of coming from a certain lonley valley or strange village in some woods, but possibly the shape of horns or ears or just that bad skin desease that does not want to stop....#whatcangowrong
