This feels way worse. Like a slow motion version of that day, and I'm near the top of the building and the first plane just hit. I swear I will be nicer if this just goes away.

I live in proximity of the NYC attacks, and although it was devastating and we were on the edges of our seats, I didn't feel the anxiety I am feeling now. I was in my late 40's when it happened, so old enough to really grasp the gravity of the situation. But that was, IMO, a tangible threat.
Now, decades later, I'm close to 67 years old. My general health is good (except for mobility and nerve issues); however, that this is an animal-derived virus to which our human systems have never been exposed, and the fact that people are panicking and behaving like idiots, yes, I am more anxious this time around. I am not panicking, but I am seeing behavior that boggles the mind! Either people arent' taking this threat seriously, or they are buying up stuff in ridiculous amounts and being so nasty to to everyone else. I thought that if people on my block with children have trouble with getting food, I'd suggest sharing what we have, make a lot of what we have, have some immediate meals, distribute it and freeze it for future use. Somehow, I don't think that's the mindset now. I worry about my fellow man's behavior and reaction.

When we get to over 3000 dead, then it will be worse than 9/11.
