Would rank the Great Depression higher because not only did it occur in the US but also world wide and set up what would become WWII later on
Fully admit that it's hard to really rank that one. I don't really know how it affected the rest of the world or set up WWII.

I understand that the rankings will be all over the place but Covid is only such a big deal because global governments have made it one. It isn't close to some of these.
The Western world fighting against Hitler and Imperial Japan or some virus with a 99.8% survival rate
The health effects are laughable to a world war or even the effects of the Great Depression on human life. What it’s done to our Constitutional liberties, our economy, and government control in our lives though makes it a very significant event, and maybe even more so as time goes on and it’s seen as the beginnings of much more power and government control. I think you’ll be hard pressed to find another event that’s caused churches to close their doors and not hold service. Maybe we should rename it the Fear Pandemic.

It's too soon to gauge COVID against the 2008 recession IMO.
Is it soon enough to gage the Holocaust against my uber driver canceling FOR NO GOOD REASON?!!!!!

None of the above. Gettysburg was more significant

I'm not convinced that more Americans have actually died from Coronavirus than from Katrina. Not saying it's impossible or even improbable, but there's a complete lack of objective numbers when it comes to the virus.

Covid is like Tulip Mania, or the 1980s Satanism panic. It's significant in its own way, and it may even accelerate some societal changes that were already going to happen, but ultimately it's more noise than history. It's a symptom of the innately shitty nature of the human species, and that's not a topic that requires much study.
FWIW I tend to think hurricanes should only be mentioned between real news and sports, but at least Katrina wasn't a complete figment of our collective imagination.

The most costly, inhumane and unjustifiable war in America was June 18, 1971. frick Nixon.

The Rona is overblown, but not by a factor of 1300% if you are equating death tolls
