A worn pair of nurse’s shoes. That coronavirus model Anthony Fauci used in public briefings. The Spanish Fly from Adham Baba. Oral histories, iconic photos and social media posts. All of us are curators now, and what we preserve — as well as what we don’t — will write the pandemic story.
Unlike the wars in the past, and recently, the COVID-19 history will be written by us, social media users.
Preserved in the social media posts in the forms of videos, texts, messages, WhatsApp forwards and many other forms online. Won’t it? Perhaps that will be because the winners always write history?
