There was no national Mourning until May for the first 100,000 that had died of coronavirus: For example: 50,000 Americans died in Viet Nam and that was a really big deal

Days after thousands of lives perished on 9/11, the United States marked a national day of prayer and remembrance for the victims of the worst terrorist attack in the nation's history.

President George W. Bush delivered words of comfort and encouragement at the packed National Cathedral in Washington, where four former US presidents as well as political and religious leaders gathered on a gray cloudy morning that gave way to bright sunshine.

Grief from Covid-19 death: Toll on bereaved family members runs deep, study says

"Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time," Bush said. "But goodness, remembrance and love have no end. The Lord of life holds all who die, and all who mourn."

For days mourners poured into houses of worship. Church bells tolled. The dead were remembered at candlelight vigils across the country.

Nearly two decades later, in the midst of another national tragedy that has the US surpassing 170,000 deaths from Covid-19, there have been few signs of collective mourning among Americans.

In fact, it wasn't until late May, with the death toll nearing 100,000, that flags on federal buildings would be lowered to half-staff to honor coronavirus victims and members of the military.

It's true that during a pandemic you have to stay in a war time mode regarding all this so that ANYONE survives something like this at all.

However, it is very very surrealistic the way president Trump has dealt with all the deaths of coronavirus victims and people dying of coronavirus in prisons and jails (who were NOT guilty of murder by the way). So, how can we all deal with all this in a healthy way? Because believe me, what is going on now is not healthy in ANY WAY!
