More than anything this is changing the culture re: how decisions are made. Future crises will still have people posturing for their political side, but they will largely be dismissed in favour of people who are genuinely working to find solutions. Plus, it's reassuring to see more people looking to authoritative sources - i.e. science - as opposed to wingnut thinking (oh many will still live their lives based on what they saw on some youtube video, but this will increasingly become the exception).
Of course, I don't live in the US, and certainly not in the midwest or south, so YMMV.
