    For me, Covid is more like slow horror that creeps in, slowly boiling you like a frog.

    9/11 is probably more like what Jan 6 felt like. Obviously, more people died on 9/11, but I’m talking about the shock of it, and how surreal it feels.

    Covid feels more like a “Flint, Michigan” scenario.

    I guess its because one category is negligence, the other is malicious intent.

      That’s fair. I went with Covid because J6 did have any real ongoing impact. It happened and then everyone tried to move on like nothing had happened. That was itself surreal, of course. Covid had more of the “this changes everything forever” feeling (though at this point it seems like everyone has forgotten about it)
