Actually no. Islam is a dumb religion, as they all are, but 9/11 was a nothing burger in the history of the world if you look at it on a per capita basis. It was a big deal because of the optics of it. The number of deaths look big for kung flu, but statistically this is still a nothing burger. By a long shot.
You're comparing one off events to something that happens every year called the flu. We already have 10's of thousands dying every year from the flu. You're comparing apples to testicles. This virus is gonna kill who it's gonna kill, with or without a vaccine. Apparently in some people's world we don't have flu deaths anymore.
There's no proof that we're preventing more deaths than we are creating through the response. Bat flu is winning in my sphere, but 1 suicide to 2 deaths from Wuhan sickness. Give it the rest of the month and you're going to see suicides and OD's spike bigly. But hey, they deserve to die too, even though the people that die from Covid still will with all this nonsense. Good choice. Let's just double it up instead of letting those that are close to death, just fucking die???
Already the virus has kllled 29,000 Americans. 3000 died in the 9/11 attacks. So this pandemic has already killed almost 10 times as many Americans. Would you say, "well the terrorists are going to kill who they are going to kills, so let's just get this over and move one?" Maybe you should just envision the covid virus as tiny Jihadists attacking America. Would that get you to take this pandemic seriously?

Eventually the pandemic will run its course, but we have to change behavior to mitigate the damage. I don't think lifting the stay-at-home orders is a good thing. We don't have enough testing and we don't have a vaccine yet. Even when we do get a vaccine, dumb ass anti-vaccinators may not take it.
The borders should have been closed in every country as soon as the pandemic was detected. People returning to their home countries should have been kept in quarantine for two weeks. If we did this, covid would have only infected a few countries and humanitarian aid could have greatly mitigated the death toll and economic consequences. Unfortunately, we value money too much over safety and the well being of our fellow man. Greed is an epidemic's best friend.
Hopefully, this world will learn from this tragedy and take steps to prepare for the next pandemic. And yes, there will be a next one and eventually there will be one far bigger and more dangerous than covid. Unfortunately, our species is terrible at dealing with problems that are incredibly important but not urgent like
- pandemics before they happen
- drug resistant microbes
- climate change
- the threat of nuclear war
- asteroid impact
We should be dealing with all these existential threats now before it's too late.
- Fund anti-pandemic organizations
- Have enough capacity for the worst case scenario, not the most common one
- Don't oversubscribe anti-biotics
- Reduce pollution
- Slowly and steadily remove nuclear weapons and make their possession illegal for all countries with mandatory inspections
- Map out all large asteroids and come up with a plan to divert them. Test the plan by altering the course of an asteroid.
Our government has failed to do any of these things except for some nuclear arms reduction.

That's a mostly invalid comparison because every year several hundred thousand people in the US, mostly elderly and some weak die of natural causes, which includes colds, flus, pneumoniae and various CVs. The death due to terrorism is close to zero. So a 3000 fold increase on 911 would equate to a plague that killed hundreds of millions of people in the US.
WookieMan saysYou still don't get it. This virus is going to kill who it's going to kill. We can't hide from it forever. No hospitals, in the US at least, are overwhelmed. Let's just get this over with and move on.
The number of people who will die from the virus is heavily dependent on how we respond to the situation. If stay-at-home orders are kept in place, far fewer people will die.
Already the virus has kllled 29,000 Americans. 3000 died in the 9/11 attacks. So this pandemic has already killed almost 10 times as many Americans.

And yet we changed how we lived our lives greatly before it. An entire draconian act, the USA Patriot Act, was passed because of it. So taking some common sense measures to stop pandemics which are a far greater threat than terrorism ever could be, is quite reasonable.
WookieMan says
There have been numerous discrediting of the notion that covid is a lesser threat than the flu. If it wasn't for social distancing and stay at home orders, covid would kill far more than the flu.
Furthermore, pandemics have to be taken seriously. In war you prepare for the worse case scenario, not the best one. You have to treat all epidemics as possible Black Deaths because you don't know which one will become that. People have such short memories. Just because there wasn't a pandemic in their lifetime, they don't take the threat seriously. They ignore history.

This is true. The CDC numbers of infected/dead indicate a 4% mortality rate in the USA. That’s on par with the Spanish Flu.

Sorry, we don't have remotely the slightest clue how many people are or have been infected. The death rate is a complete guessing game because of that. Even with the current data, there's not a chance with modern medicine that this will get close to the Spanish flu. We'd need 5M dead by now at minimum. Per capita, compared to other outbreaks this really is the flu.
We're overall going to end up with less deaths during this period because there will be less car accidents, less work injuries, etc. That's all social distancing is doing. It's not stopping an airborne virus. Has anyone not been outside or to the store? No one is listening to the "orders" besides the big event people/businesses and restaurants. Grocery store and gas stations have been packed every time I've been out.
It's a little scary how quickly people can be manipulated. And even if it's not manipulation, the fear of death apparently is stronger than I thought. The end is the same for everyone, not sure how you're going to change that. People die from changing a lightbulb on a ladder. Do we just get rid of lights and ladders?

That's clearly wrong.
The virus kills on the order of 0.4% when you include all of the people who have been infected, per studies in Iceland and Germany. Maybe less.
The 4% is for people who are sick enough to seek medical treatment, which is a minority, about 10% of those infected.
4% x 10% = 0.4%

This video, and also it's promotion is a good example of why fake news is so prevalent.
Some people don't consider that a 1.2 second video clip might be missing some context, making it's words and message completely different. They also don't believe their favorite news station would cut clips in a dishonest way - they "trust" that the 1.2 seconds is reflective of the true meaning.
But both of those assumptions are very wrong. Fake news spreads quickly due to this.

A couple samples:
"On March 3rd, the day after you claim Trump should have shut our economy down, this is how the WHO downplayed the virus:
“COVID-19 spreads less efficiently than flu, transmission does not appear to be driven by people who are not sick”
https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19---3-march-2020 …
Would the America public really have accepted millions of jobs destroyed for a virus that had infected just 102 people by March 2? Especially considering Italy would not lock down until March 10th, Spain on March 14th, and the UK on March 23?"

ThreeBays saysThere's not going to be a quick return to normal.
Prediction: There will indeed be a quick return to normal, except, hopefully, for some valuable lessons learned about why we should not continue to outsource to China.
Why the quick return to normal? Because pretty much every country on earth is on the same curve, showing this thing lasts about 90 days even with varying responses among countries:
More predictions:
- Democrats will blame Trump for not doing enough
- Democrats will blame Trump for doing too much
- Democrats will attempt to continue to outsource factories to China and insource illegals from Mexico, and scream !RACIST! at anyone who objects
- voters will get serious about objecting to the devastation of the US working class, and Democrats will lose not only this...

FREEMAN: Stop talking about it. I’m going to stop calling you a white man. And I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freeman. You’re not going to say, “I know this white guy named Mike Wallace.” Hear what I’m saying?

Onvacation saysAt least the alarmists have leftglobal warmingclimate change alone for a while.
Another bonus: we don't have to hear the 24/7 drone about mostly-imaginary racism.
Not hearing about racism 24/7 is not only much more pleasant, it's actually the most effective way to end what racism there is.
Morgan Freeman and Mike Wallace:WALLACE: Black History Month, you find …
FREEMAN: Ridiculous.
WALLACE: Why?
FREEMAN: You’re going to relegate my history to a month?
WALLACE: Come on.
FREEMAN: What do you do with yours? Which month is White History Month? Come on, tell me.
WALLACE: I’m Jewish.
FREEMAN: OK. Which month is Jewish History Month?
WALLACE: There isn’t one.
FREEMAN: Why not? Do you want one?
WALLACE: No, no.
FREEMAN: I don’t either. I don’t want a Black History...

The most interesting part would be to uncover the office or PR agency (if there is one) creating these media scares, figuring out who is paying them, and why.
It all kinda does reek of Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud:
It all kinda does reek of Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud:
Edward Louis Bernays (/bərˈneɪz/; German: [bɛɐ̯ˈnaɪs]; November 22, 1891 − March 9, 1995) was an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as "the father of public relations".[3] Bernays was named one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th century by Life.[4] ...
His best-known campaigns include a 1929 effort to promote female smoking by branding cigarettes as feminist "Torches of Freedom" and his work for the United Fruit Company connected with the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the democratically elected Guatemalan government in 1954.

Most people don't understand the difference between 4% and 0.4% and don't care either.
Shaman saysThe CDC numbers of infected/dead indicate a 4% mortality rate in the USA.
That's clearly wrong.
The virus kills on the order of 0.4% when you include all of the people who have been infected, per studies in Iceland and Germany. Maybe less.
The 4% is for people who are sick enough to seek medical treatment, which is a minority, about 10% of those infected.
4% x 10% = 0.4%
Most people don't understand the difference between 4% and 0.4% and don't care either.
