I wouldn't mind depictions of Covid in books, but I've been lucky enough that the pandemic had relatively little impact on me.
I remember a little jolt of surprise the first time I read a content warning in a book published early in 2020, telling readers that the book mentions "The 1918 flu pandemic and the spread of infectious disease." I hadn't thought about it before, but I can certainly understand that many readers would prefer to avoid that in their fiction for a good while.
