There isn't going to be a vaccine for a year to 18 months, at the earliest.   Do you really think it's realistic to just maintain a ban on gatherings of over 10 people until 2022? Dr Fauci says 18 months hopefully.  What if instead of 2022, it's 2023 or 2024... still want to keep everything locked down? Still want to wait for the vaccine?

I always hear people ask something like "how would you feel if you have to tell your grandfather that he might get sick and die from this?"   I have yet to hear anybody ask anything like "how would you feel if you have to be the one who has to tell your granddaughter that she won't be able to go back to college until 2022?" 
...
So while everybody is saying "we're all in this together!" the reality is that we are asking young people to put their lives on hold for the benefit of our society's older (and wealthier) members. 

Young people will never be repaid-- or even acknowledged-- for the sacrifices they are making to keep old-people safe during this disaster.

Nobody wants businesses to close or lives on hold.  The reality is that we have to choose between seniors and those with underlying conditions dying VS college kids having their schooling delayed and some businesses closing etc.  That choice is really easy for me.  Somebody's small business isn't worth thousands of lives.  People getting 2 or 5 or 10 more years being alive is kind of a big deal.  You want me to choose between the lives of my parents and your friend's bar business?  Are you mad?

This isn't just young people's lives on hold, this is everyone.  Yours and mine and everyone.  Some will lose in this more than others, thems the breaks, they will live to play another day.  The ones who will lose most will lose their lives and/or loved ones.  Everyone should just be grateful they aren't dead after this.
