I doubt that Covid-19 would have happened in this world.
Spanish flu (Obviously by another name) happening at another time however

COVID-19 would be butterflied away, at least not such as in OTL. There might be some another pandemic on another time anyway. But not total copy of OTL COVID-19.
With a 100 year POD, there won't be a carbon copy of our COVID-19 pandemic.
I know that it might be no Covid 19, but am asked what this World will Respond to a Pandemic?
Depends when it would occur, how much science would understand these things and haw rapidly and how dangerous that disease would be.
Well if the WW1 Never Happened that mean no Spanish Flu which would Effect Science understand with Disease mean possibly more Infections and Deaths in this Hypothetical 2020 Pandemic
The Spanish Flu - or something similar - might still happen in the early 20th Century. A world without WWI would remain more integrated and globalized than OTL during this time; the lack of movement of troops would be offset by larger transcontinental trade. If we go with the theory that the Spanish Flu originated in the US it is only a matter of time before it spreads through the US, and likely hops the Atlantic shortly afterward. Alternatively, another pathogen could spread later on.
Covid-19 as we know is certainly butterflied away, another pandemic can easily happen at some point, with or without the earlier Flu Pandemic.
Going with what has been posted on the thread, I'd say that the best time for a pandemic in TTL is during the 1930s, which we have defined as a rather tumultuous decade (AKA The Warring Thirties or the Decade of Ten Wars). For the 21st century, I would push it further back to the 2030s or 2040s.
Economic Crisis, Constant Wars, and a global pandemic happening in the 1930s would make this decade much more miserable than it was in OTL.
As for the 21st century pandemic, the later the better.

It certainly wouldn't be a good time, but on the bright side there is no World War 2...
Not World War II, but there are several small wars (some not so small) going on in the world
Gran Sultan Abdulmejid II (Çırağan Palace, Ortaköy, 30 May 1868 - Paris, France, 23 August 1944), 37th and last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.
Abdulmejid II was the 37th and last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, reigning from 16 May 1926 until 1 August 1944, when the Ottoman Empire was dissolved after the Turkish Civil War and replaced by the Sultanate of Turkey.
Most historians agree that when he came to power it was too late to save the crumbling empire: both his predecessors (Mehmed V and Mehmed VI) had done almost nothing to solve the empire's economic and social problems.
The Economic Crisis of 1932 proved to be the last nail in the Ottomans' coffin, the very fragile Turkish economy collapsed, and the dictatorial CUP government was terribly ineffective in finding a solution to the crisis, in September 1936 a coup d'état led by the Turkish Youth started the Turkish Revolution, the Empire was divided between the Government of Constantinople (aligned with the CUP and the sultan) and the Government of Ankara (Controlled by the young Turks), in January 1937 a massive Arab revolt broke out in Hejaz , followed by a Kurdish revolt breaking out in June 1938, seeing the Ottomans' fragile situation, Russia invaded the northeastern region of the empire, followed by Greece and Bulgaria in 1939.
In July 1944, the war finally came to an end with the humiliating Peace of Ankara, the Ottoman Empire lost most of its territories, and was now converted into a Sultanate ruled by the Young Turks, a few days after the signing of the peace treaty. , Abdulmejid II was deposed on 1 August, forced to abdicate in favor of Osman IV, on 23 August 1944, the old sultan died in exile in Paris at the age of 76.

Waterfront view of the city of Antalya, capital of the Republic of Lycia, in southern Anatolia
The Republic of Lycia, in southern Anatolia, is a former Italian colony established when the Ottoman Empire collapsed and was divided in the early 1940s.
The Italian government lost control over this colony in 1971, after failing to reassert its authority in the region, Antalya declared independence from Italy with secret support from the Turkish state, France and Great Britain during a rebellion against the Italian crown.
In 2022, Lycia is somewhat industrialized, but still a poor and peaceful nation, with a Turkish Muslim majority, it is an Italian Catholic minority and ethnic tensions in the nation are high, although they have decreased in recent years
