I guess that, somhow, until recently, I still had some hope alive that we'd manage to contain this virus and drive it to extinction quickly (within months). That hope died today, and I'm grieving. Now the best I can hope for is that we can make it extinct within a few years.

I've been thinking a lot about grieving as a model of how to cope. It makes sense. But I also think humans are amazing. Watching some of the science being done has been awe-inspiring. Don't give up hope.

I'm both grieving for the people who die (it's like waking up to a new 9/11 every day, and having another 9/11 during the day, every day), and for the fact that we could have done better.

I was not living in US on 9/11 but I watch in horror at my browser at events unfolding. Don't know if I got numb or stopped carring. I can't feel the same. We brought this on ourselves by not acting :( Still feel sad for those we already lost and the many to come :(

Maybe I am not processing yet. Time will tell. I feel I am mostly angry right now at all the stupid behaviors and denial of science happening. Grief can only come when anger is gone :(

In the five-stage model (which I am finding useful), anger is the second stage, it's part of grieving. Sadness is the fourth though.
