[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, absolutely not. 9/11 terrorist attacks on 2 of the country’s most symbolic cities, collapse of the twin towers on live tv, thousands dead (many who jumped to their deaths), lower Manhattan covered in soot w pedestrians running for their lives…..all followed by a 20 year war on terror and complete change in the legal framework of the U.S., complete reboot of domestic and airport security.

Lockdown and virtual schooling.

Well that a million dead Americans.

9/11, Regan, challenger, impeachment- these are TV moments. Covid was a TV moment.  But March 2020 will be a big memory for gen z kids. How could it not be?[/quote]

An illness is not going to war. Because most Americans don’t know what war or immediate threats to life feel like, these to probably seem similar. Furthermore, most of the country did not go to the same extreme as DC and weren’t under strict lockdowns for extended periods.

My kids hung out outdoors most of March. We grilled and enjoyed ourselves. It was in no way like 9/11. Will people remember the quarantine period? Most likely. But those memories are nowhere near as impactful as 9/11[/quote]
