Definitely the biggest since 9/11. I haven't seen a complete structural change in every facet of society since that.

I was only 8 when 9/11 happened but it feels like this is way bigger in terms of how day to day life is changing.

Feels like this will potentially have a much higher death count too.

Though to be totally honest comparing the two events seems like apples to oranges to me. Terrorist attack versus viral outbreak, each has totally different reactions.

Threat? Hardly, that is unless you're really old or immunocompromised.

I don't think any of you quite remember what the world was like in the weeks following 9/11

They haven't even shut down airlines at this point.

I view this as all those other prior viruses we dealt with, but that also doesn't mean I'm downplaying its seriousness either. And yes, 9/11 still remains the biggest news story to me

9/11 literally shut down everything we knew about the world pre 9/11

Permanently

You say this as if 9/11 didn't push a global war on terror that the entire west has been feeling for the past two decades, didn't result in numerous government surveillance issues in the entire western world.

I'd also assume that most other countries air security was completely changed after 9/11 as well, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that and it's *just* the USA where they go overboard on airport security.

It's this or 9/11 for sure.

Tough to say which is ultimately bigger. 9/11 was more of a seismic all at once impact, whereas the coronavirus is more of a sustained degradation of things as the situation worsens day by day. It's hard to ultimately compare the two.

Ehhh, not really. 9/11 will always be bigger as a news story. Coronavirus is on a larger scale, and while it's not "just the flu" it's easy to write it off as a minor illness for 90% of the population.

I have never seen a shutdown like this has caused though.

I was like 11 or something during 9/11 but can't remember it too much.

As an adult, I can see the damage covid 19 is doing and how it's affecting me.
