'What was clear 19 years ago and what is clear today is that unity is the strongest weapon in America's arsenal,' Jonah Bader writes for CNNOpinion

Jonah Bader is a CNN associate producer with Fareed Zakaria GPS. The views expressed in this commentary are his own. Read more opinion at CNN.

As we remember the tragedy of 9/11 and honor the thousands who lost their lives, we find ourselves in the midst of another tragedy. More than 191,000 Americans have died from Covid-19, and as many more could die by the end of the year. Though the present situation is different in many ways, the war on terror offers a useful model for the years ahead. Mindful of the many pitfalls of that effort, we should nevertheless learn from its example and gird ourselves for another long-term fight, fortifying our government agencies and bringing the international community together in a concerted campaign against this shared global threat. Jihadist hijackers would seem to have little in common with the microscopic menace we face today.

Opinion It being very hard on our 45 years marriage the division trump has created in us. My wife still believe in trump and I know he is a criminal and a traitor. Trump is hurting even our Family structures.

Opinion Tell the Democrats to run they’re campaign on what they’re believe and the merits of they’re candidate. STOP politicizing everything!!! That’s the difference between the two events. 9-11 a nation came together, COVID-19 is completely political due to Dems anemic offering.

Opinion After 911, the people of the USA decided to show their united rage and created havoc on foreign soil, then they happily returned to the endless domestic in-fight.

Opinion Meanwhile, most Trump supporters believe 9/11 was an inside job. They would be fine exterminating minorities and mass deportations. There is no unity to be had. There is only us and them.

Opinion Under the Trump administration died more people with covid19 than in the first world War and in Vietnam together. 7 trillion debt in 4 years and still people who celebrate this. USA lost the common sense 👏

Cry me a river, after years of exorbitant fees, and no leg/arm room. Many people and businesses get left out of Republican plans. Truth Wisdom Governments should help hardest hit sectors as COVID19 may take 2, 3 years before it's completely eliminated. No need to radically alter planes though as 3 years will just pass.
