For GenZ and younger Millennials: You’re living through a time comparable to, possibly more consequential than, 9/11 for the GenX crowd.
Possibly closer to major political upheavals or wars: Fall of the Soviet Bloc / Berlin Wall, AIDS/HIV, Vietnam War, WWII, the Great Depression.
Your lives will likely be divided into “pre-Coronavirus” and “post-Coronavirus”.
Life, institutions, worldviews, life trajectories, politics, values, will change. Quite probably long-term. In unexpected ways I cannot predict.
This may be the first, and possibly milder instance, of a wave of future pandemics.
Pay attention.
