Millennials, the world needs us right now. Not just to lighten the mood on the web through quarantine TikToks, though we’re certainly experts at laughing through the pain. We’re the key to slowing this pandemic. The actions we take right now could save thousands of lives — maybe tens of thousands.
Millennials, those roughly ages of 20-40, are the “core group” to help slow the spread of Covid-19, said Dr. Deborah Birx on Tuesday. Birx is the response coordinator for the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
“Right now we need the army of millennials out there doing everything that they can to protect themselves from getting infected because we know a lot of their cases will be mild or asymptomatic,” she said.
