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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Our kids who were old enough will render 2020, not March 13th specifically.

Just like our grandparents remember the Spanish flu
