Wow. Just, wow. This is quite a long read, but it really puts thing into many different perspectives (even to the point that the upcoming generation will now be refered to as Gen C because these babies are being born during the coronavirus pandemic):

How the Pandemic Will End

The U.S. may end up with the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the industrialized world. This is how it’s going to play out.

Not all young college kids are bad. My niece is 20 & she has a good head on her shoulders.

Of course not all college kids are bad. But the attention goes to those who went out of their way to act selfish and entitled.
The part that really hit me was the attitude of if a bunch of old people die, who cares.
“Grandma, if you’re gonna kick the bucket, can you leave me some beer money?”

Younger generations having little regard for older generations isn't new. I don't know if each generation gets dumber as we go or is I am just an old millennial now.

Yes to both

It’s so disrespectful honestly, like my grandma on my mom’s side is very, very close to her end and I’m dreading the day when it officially comes.....

Meanwhile, the powers that be keep insisting that old people are willing to sacrifice their lives if it means saving our economy. Yes, this is what some of them are actually saying.

And yet, in a somewhat ironic twist of fate, it's looking like presently, it's not the older generations with underlying health problems and pre-existing conditions who are the most susceptible to COVID-19 . . . it's the Millennials! Guess because you can't get them to practice any social distancing and isolation.

You do know that YOU are a millennial, right?

You are also aware that susceptible and 'having a risk of dying' are two completely different things, right? literally everyone is susceptible to it. older people with health problems are just the ones more likely to have serious symptoms
