[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost 3000 people in the US died in the 9/11 attacks and we mourn them and remember them.

But easily 3000 people are dying a week now from COVID in the US and we barely talk about them or mention their names.

Are we not horrified just because they aren't all dying in one building?  Or because they are mostly old?[/quote]
People don’t care about COVID. Let’s talk about 9/11 like people talk about COVID and see how angry people get. 
“Why should we care about 9/11 victims? More people die from the flu every year and we don’t have a day of remembrance for them.”
“Our economy was good before 9/11. More people die in car accidents every year. If we don’t fly, our airlines will go out of business and people will lose their jobs. All because you’re afraid of something that is statistically less likely to kill you than a car accident.”
“Grow up. Are you going to hide under your bed afraid of terrorism forever? I, for one, will be living my life.”
“A lot of those people had preexisting conditions. The data is skewed to create fear. Only 356 of those people actually died from terrorism. Many of them were obese so they couldn’t run down the stairs.” 
Angry now?

Yes.  Obese or old.  If they chose to be younger or thinner, they could have run faster down those stairs.

Dismissive jerks.[/quote]
