What great works are most likely to come out of the Covid-19 experience?

I've been seeing a lot of information on how many great works of art, literature or science came out of previous plagues, quarantines, etc. Everybody from Isaac Newton to William Shakespeare seemed to make good use of their down time. Reader's Digest Article on Quantine works of genius
And of course there are great works that come out of other traumatic experience - great authors like Crane, Hemingway, Mailer, Sledge, Leckie, etc. who turned their war experiences into literature.
Of course there are all of the great OT threads on how we are all going to die if on the one hand we don't stay quarantined forever and on the other hand if everything doesn't go back to normal in the next 15 minutes (depending on the writers' worldview).
But, other than those, what great works do you think are most likely to come up? Must be a lot of musical artists that are using this time away from touring, wild parties, etc. to create some good stuff? Maybe a few authors and artists who now have time away from their jobs to really write or paint? Perhaps medical people or scientists working on the front lines who have an inspiration?

I've collected a to of my belly button lint over the last weeks. Plan to make something legit with it.

I don't know about 'great works' but, you know how many films/shows are still filmed in NOLA and each one of them has to reference Katrina even 15 years later?
Now, picture that 10x more films and shows than that are set in New York, and that this virus has already lopped off 3 Katrinas and a 9/11 off of the NYC population.
This damn virus is going to shoehorn its way into being a plot point in a lot of shows to come.
Law and Order: SVU is already planning on 2 seasons worth of domestic violence while on lockdown shows.

Definitely a spike in people having their first child. Second, third, fourth, etc......unlikely.

Yeah don’t think anyone currently with young kids has to worry about having another one during this

Whatever word the voices in your head tell you to use is acceptable.

I typically don’t like to brag, but I created a masterpiece towards the beginning of this catastrophic event. It is a graphical depiction of female empowerment, meant to evoke such a strong emotional reaction in women of all ages and certain pantywaist men that they immediately take out their iPhones and tweet out hashtags such as #ImWithHer and #IAmANastyWoman. I expect the Ogden to approach me at any moment (while maintaining a safe social distance, of course). I present to you, again, "Nevertheless, She Persisted":

I’m expecting the exact opposite. We’re seeing right now why the Soviet Union was devoid of any internal ingenuity and artistic ambition.
