Coronavirus is not even the worst pandemic in this century - not even close. It's also only the 4th most devastating thing to happen to us since 110 years ago - after the two world wars and the Spanish flu. That's not to mention the entire history of humanity, where it probably wouldn't make the top 100. We are barely going to notice the effects of this pandemic in the long run - the amount by which it will slow down our progression to utopia falls well, well within the margin of error of my prediction (I reckon it could slow it down by a year or so).
Humanity will invariably reach a state of utopia in at most 200 years
