Was reading NYT and suddenly...CONTEXT!

There are adults (18+) who are currently out and about in the United States who haven't lived through 9/11.

Fuck.

No wonder everyone is so lackadaisical about personal safety. I can guarantee you that there are a total of zero millennials who are taking this COVID-19 pandemic casually.

I know I was bemoaning that humanity is doomed, but on the other hand, even the Bubonic Plague (estimated death of 75-200 million) didn't manage to keep the human species down. Human species will find a way. It's the individuals who make it through that's up for grabs.

In other words...you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?

On a more serious note, stay safe and stay inside. Don't go into public if you can help it.
