Over a million people in the US have died of Covid.

It's not the number of people who died. It's the manner in which they died. The 9/11 attacks were shocking/traumatizing on a scale we'd never seen before. It radically changed the entire world in an instant and continues to have an impact on our daily lives.

COVID is not the first pandemic, risks could be mitigated and will not have the life altering impact on daily life that the 9/11 terrorist attacks did - unless, of course, you include the political impact of the galvanized anti-science ignorati.

It might be a notable date for some people but nothing like September 11.

This. That last day of school was certainly the day I felt the world shift, and while I knew around when it was (now) I couldn't have told you the date.

I don't like to think about that week because of the anxiety and hard times that followed. It's hard to remember how stressful and intense everything felt for months on end. I am glad my kids barely remember.
