I kind of relate to this. People talk about coming up under COVID as though it were like living in the shadow of 9/11 with the war on terror, and Afghanistan raging and whatnot. The latter is something I can identify with. But idk, I just don't feel any real connection to people who talk about COVID in those terms. Not even necessarily saying they're wrong to do so, but for me COVID wasn't something that ever reached the level of cultural zeitgeist. Owing to being furloughed and not particularly minding staying indoors more, for me it was just something annoying happening in the background that you kind of just had to deal with.
