You're almost there; you're probably already asleep and you'll be getting your answers soon.

9/11 was one big burst of scary, something totally unexpected and not like anything we had experienced before, but as days went by and nothing else happened the fear started to diminish. The pandemic, we can somewhat protect ourselves from, but it goes on and on and is wearing some people down. And the other stuff.... well, I'm not going into all that. People can adapt and that's what we have to do.
