GenX is trending today. Our generation is getting credit for being the one to take it seriously. The Boomers just don't care. The Millenials are out at the bars! We're the only ones getting it right, as a whole.

This never happens, so fellow Xers, let's soak up the positive attention for five minutes.

Because WE KNOW ISOLATION.

We were the latchkey kids, whose parents worked. We came home to an empty house and played the early game consoles. At night we read under the covers with a flashlight.

Nobody in history quarantined better than the Breakfast Club. We dealt with Gremlins, so we know difficult invasive species can be. We survived dysentery on the Oregon Trail. And we already knew we were (stupid and) contagious - Kurt Cobain said so.

We will save humanity this time. This is our rare superhero moment.
