Millennials: It's time to start taking the coronavirus seriously

The next couple of weeks are crucial if we are to slow the spread of the coronavirus, according to health officials, which is why all age groups must practice “social distancing” and reduce public and social contact as much as possible. But one generation, in particular, must play a key role: millennials.

“I’m the mother of two millennials,” said Deborah Birx, a member of President Trump’s coronavirus task force, during a press conference Monday afternoon. “They are the core group that will stop this virus. They are the group that communicates successfully, independent of picking up a phone. They intuitively know how to contact each other without being in large social gatherings.”
