In the scope of where/when you use the transcript that P/F won't have that much info attached to it. Many colleges have a special designation: P/F with a denotation for extreme circumstances. This is for cases where something bad happened to a student at the end of a semester, something bad happened to a professor, or as is now--something bad happened to the world.

If this thread does not interest you, don't read it.
