Coronavirus looks like it might give American millennials everything they were hoping to get from Bernie.
A virus which for young people just means they stay inside for a couple weeks, while simultaneously triggering a massive transfer of wealth from rich old people to younger people and the government (inheritance, taxes) , frees up substantial amounts of housing, reduces the social security deficit and replaces years or decades of medical care costs with a trivial temporary spike.
This virus is looking like a dream scenario for left-wing / liberal ideologies and people who have been craving 'Creative Destruction' of the current system. While there is an initial emotional response that it feels bad to see the upside in some elderly people losing the last few years of their life, ethically it seems no different or maybe preferable to losing years of labor to taxation to accomplish the same outcomes.
