They haven't as they're mostly not the ones who are actually, you know, dying from this.
Everyone is getting screwed, business owners who have put in decades of work, will end up with nothing. Zero hour contract workers with families to feed could have no money to buy food almost immediately. Part time workers, cleaners, plumbers, decorators, restaurant owners and all the support staff etc. all with an immediate halt to their income. Anything where you have to be physically present is in trouble.
The majority of the age range you're referring to, will be lucky enough to be living from a family home and forge a career in a world where this is a known quantity. Some are unable to retrain, unable to change
We'll all have to pay for it though, my 3 year old will probably end up paying towards it until retirement, which is terrifying.
No one is lucky here, but everyone is getting screwed by this virus no matter your age, some with far harsher consequences than others.
