Ok Boomer & Millennial & Gen-Zer.
Generational differences in perceived crisis response.
It seems that quarantine living and social distancing have only widened the generational divide.
“I have noticed a lot of people I have on my social media that are younger than me are not taking this seriously and are having very large get togethers.”
“Most baby boomers I have met are very self-entitled and stubborn. Most don’t want or don’t like change.”
“My views of Millennials changed. It seems that some of them are not taking the precautions seriously.”
“They defied orders, bought the cheap tickets and descended in Miami despite warnings.”
The generational finger-pointing has continued online.
But not everyone is buying into it.
“I have come to the realization that every generation wants to blame another.”
“I know just as many millennials who think they're immune from the virus as retired people in their 60s.
The ignorant spring breakers partying in Miami do not represent an entire generation.”
Ironically, the spring breakers that at first fueled this generational division that are now showing us just how insignificant age can be when we're all facing the same hurdle
“Our generation may feel invincible, like I did when I commented. But we have a responsibility to listen and follow the recommendations in our communities.”
