In the landscape of scenarios for the world after the coronavirus, what are the key dimensions of variation?

For example, Simon Mair of the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity, suggests the following axes:

*) Whether society's response is centralised or distributed;
*) Whether our guiding economic principle is exchange value or the protection of life.

What other dimensions should be considered? And how attractive are the scenarios resulting?
