Is it safe to say COVID- 19 is the 9/11 of the 2020s

9/11 was nothing compared to this. My memories of a world before 9/11 were not that vivid, but I can say 2002, things were fine. Yes, it did cause a recession as well as a war right after, but the 2008 recession was way worse, and schools resumed the next day, and airport reopened that same night. Also, it only killed people in the northern part of the East Coast in addition to anyone in the war. The coronavirus is however far worse as it killed way more people and also globally, and more than three million people were infected, now nearly two million people are still infected. Schools have been closed since mid March, and are still planning to be closed for the rest of the school year. Movie theaters and gyms are closed too. This recession is far worse than the 2008 one. Also, we have been in lockdown since March 16, and the law does not allow people to be outside unless it is essential.
