I am sick of young people who regard a lost year as a catastrophe. Ask your great grandparents what upheavals they endured. A year of lockdown and loss of a years income is insignificant. You have decades to get over it.
I agree a year of lock down is nothing compared to 2 World Wars and a Great Depression. However unless you are predicting a massive economic boom like what happened after both Wars I wouldn't be so dismissive of what the young generation will have to endure economically. The generations before us has cheap housing, free education, and whilst a bit of boom bust pre 1950's from then on it has been pretty good times economically. I don't think anyone under 25 is going to see much of the prosperity that was seen by their parents and grandparents.
