Covid-19 puts the spotlight on younger generations

As Covid-19 continues to divide social groups, generational relationships are being tested like never before. Young people in the prime of their social lives are being asked to stay distant in tiny apartments; the emotional, economic and psychological effects are clear and also likely long-lasting. Waiting for a vaccine feels interminably long to everyone, of course, and with immunity hardly a given, it's tough to blame young adults for throwing caution to the wind. This pandemic has hardly been our era's great equalizer, but as cases have begun to skew younger, perhaps even those of us who feel invincible will step back and find common ground over a virus that, by itself, doesn't discriminate.
