Our kids who were old enough will render 2020, not March 13th specifically.
Just like our grandparents remember the Spanish flu |

All k-12 schools in the DMV and most places closed down on March 13, that why of most talk about March 13. |

| There wasn’t one big day. It was many small days that slowly eroded at normality. |

I don't think so. 911 was more memorable |

DD remembes 3/13 (Friday the 13th) specifically as her last day of HS. Her college reddit had lots of postings about 3/13 three years ago on Monday...especially by curent seniors who were freshman. The college closed that day too. |

| I don't know if it's 9/11 but yes they will look back on March 13, 2020, the day schools and employers around the country told everyone to stay home, as a big deal. |

| Maybe. Although at my age (51), 9/11 was just one in a series of traumatic days including Reagan being shot, the shuttle exploding with the teacher on board, Clinton’s impeachment and the 2000 election standoff. |

Honestly, I love this. Life has moved on. (But I think it will be viewed as a big deal, because it was). |

Schools closed. Restaurants, stores, businesses, doctors offices didn’t close until the following week. I was at a bridal shower in DC on the 15th and the restaurant was packed. |
