Just devastating numbers and quotes in this FT story surveying people in their 20s about the pandemic's disproportionate effects on their lives and prospects. I will quote a bunch since article is paywalled. ft.com/content/0dec02…
Yikes. More than half. 
"Those aged 25 and under are 2.5 times more likely to be without a job because of the outbreak than the 26-64 age group, the OECD found."
"A global FT survey shows that these difficulties are translating into growing resentment toward older generations. 'Millennials have to take the brunt of the sacrifice in the situation. If you don't watch out that we don't end up jobless and poorer, why should we protect you?'"
Actually, article is not paywalled! FT usually is. Yay.
"Many confided they had thoughts about harming themselves. 'Unemployment, mental health difficulties, and uncertainty about when this will all end make for a pretty despairing outlook. At one point, I was considering suicide.'"
