The coronavirus pandemic may be the most significant mass trauma event of the decade, and it's drawing parallels with another significant trauma — the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Shauna Springer, the chief psychologist for the Stella Center, is one of the nation's leading experts on PTSD and trauma and the author of"Warrior: How to Support Those Who Protect Us." The views expressed here are her own.

Kate Colbert was first diagnosed with Covid-19 in late March, and she's been fighting both physical symptoms and emotional trauma ever since. Calling a radiology department to follow up on her doctor's order to get an emergency angiogram in May, she started sobbing when the receptionist said she could not schedule the procedure until she tested negative for Covid."I broke down in tears and pleaded, 'I don't deserve to die at home just because you don't have a protocol,'" said Colbert, a marketing consultant and business book author in Kenosha, Wisconsin."I've never felt so abandoned.

3. Advances in trauma treatment are cause for new hope. There are a variety of promising new treatment options that target both the biological and psychological symptoms of trauma. For example, stellate ganglion block is an injection that helps to calm an overactive fight-or-flight system, and ketamine infusions are another emerging treatment option. Post-traumatic stress does not have to be a life sentence, so ask for help and don't give up.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no SHAUNA SPRINGER QUIT YOUR JOB!!!! YOU ARE TERRIBLE AT IT

Oh give it a rest CNN there are NO parallels between the China Virus and Sept 11, 2001 attacks.....One was committed by the Arabs and the other by the Chinese Communist Government. There I have again corrected your FAKE news for you....gotta go for a while see you later...bye

No offense, but 9/11 was a terrorist attack on America that killed 3 thousand people. Covid19 is a global pandemic affecting everyone on the planet, and killing more than 900 thousands people so and more will die. Covid19 is not about America.

ChineseVirus can be considered a terrorist attack, yes.

I cannot believe CNN said this....I have a whole new level of disgust for the “media”

Absolutely disgraceful trying to draw parallels. You truly are weakness personified.

The real trauma is the democratic party

Most people maybe have forgotten but I have not, or maybe people were to occupied or lazy to read the article. This is the end of Donald Trump’s tenure, he’s not going to win a re-election.

Please don’t disrespect Sept11Memorial like that. No offense to corna victims, but 9/11 victims were working, playing, going about their day when they were murdered with their bodies in pieces or disintegrated. U need to retract this. My uncle was murdered that day.

Is this the BabylonBee..

No mother fuckers. Don’t even try to put that in the same category...

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah right !

🙄

plandemic

China murdered 190,000+ Americans so far. JoeBiden has been doing everything he can to protect his friends by pinning COVID on POTUS. Just 1 vote for Joe & not one of those 190,000+families will ever see China held accountable nor will they get Justice

I'm not traumatized by coronavirus. I'm traumatized by how many stupid god damn people believe it's a hoax and will stop at nothing to disobey lawful orders and put the rest of us at risk--all so they can celebrate their own ignorance and obnoxiousness. America is a joke.

Looking at your ASTONISHED anchors spewing comments about trumps rally last night and no one wearing a mask is like having cake & ice cream! Dont you people know the comments from attendees at the rally is how most americans feel. Take off that mask and get on with life. LOW RISK

Other than they both occurred in the same century, there are no parallels between September 11 and COVID-19. None that you would not be grasping at straws to make.

9/11 attack was made by Arabs, Covid was made in China

The parallel I see is two attacks on USA. One from the Chinese for unleashing this virus on the world. (Never forget they quarantined there but let people travel to other nations freely.) The other attack from Al-Qaeda.

ResignNowTrump should be the number one trending topic! Please retweet until he is gone!!

So Osama Bin Laden and and Donald J. Trump caused the most significant mass trauma event of the decade, 2001-2010, 2011-2020, respectively. Bin Laden killed 3,000 Americans in a single event. Trump's intentional negligence contributed to the deaths of at least 192,000 Americans.

9/11 was like a vampire ripping out your throat, Covid-19 is a the vampire coming back every night until you have nothing left.

Brought to y’all by the letters DNC and CHI NA

The Chinese virus is nothing like what happen 18 years ago on September 11th when your fellow Americans where slaughtered by extreme Muslim terrorist that you are trying to have everyone forget about.

Few can inflict 'trauma' like the mass mainstream media! Indeed, 'surprised' it is legal.

The decade? Try the century.

This virus is far worse. I was there for both.

AllTraumaMatter

How many American lives does it take to satisfy the ego of a politician seeking re-election? Find out in the years to come!

Trauma you inflicted. Much like the BLM movement too.

Let's not forget that this COVID19 (aka WuhanVirus ) was caused by China. We should demand compensation from CCP. Such atrocities should not go unpunished!

Bin Laden was supported and trained by the CIA during the war in Afghanistan.

Its a trauma event of the century apart from deaths it has cause economic catastrophe which is unimaginable it has forced better part of humans into poverty it has destroyed mental strength happiness

or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:13-14
