Not disagreeing with you at all @Uniquelyme , and not making excuses for them. Your tone and your approach sounds successful. The news media make the young people sound like irresponsible losers. The fact is they are the largest population at this time and ineffective messaging is hurting, not helping. That is my greater point.
As you know from being a parent, approach determines success. If we want to affect change, we may want to understand the Millenial/Gen-Z viewpoint and package something that makes sense to them. Otherwise, this virus will just drag out.
All of this would end if we just shut everything down for a month and lock people indoors like they did in China and Italy. That's going to be hard to enforce for all 50 states. Governor Cuomo already said he won't "lock up New Yorkers in their homes". It would also tank the economy and drive us into a full-blown recession.
Until there is a full lockdown, we better figure out a way to appeal to the largest population of people that are not staying indoors - young people.
