I don't think that's a fair comparison. If we look at this rationally, an incredibly small percentage of the population was and is at any risk of terrorist attacks. Any further attacks could have been prevented without the widespread erosion of privacy and giving incredible powers to the government and law enforcement.
Covid on the other hand put everyone at risk. Even if your individual chance of getting seriously sick is relatively low, (nearly)everyone is at risk of catching it and playing Russian roulette with the outcome. That alone warrants certain steps that limit personal freedom temporarily. I support those measures, as long as they are actually removed soon. Maybe I'm being naive, I don't know, but I certainly don't think comparing the terrorist threat to covid is correct or even appropriate.
