As everyone is aware, the coronavirus pandemic is ongoing and the #1 topic in the media. Not only have many stores closed, but some states including New York and California have enforced state-wide shutdowns. Despite the shutdowns, a lot of young people have disregarded the warnings and continue to be out and about. Many of them are actually on spring break now as a video from Clearwater, FL surfaced on social media partying it up. With the onslaught of warmer weather and holidays, young people are taking advantage of their spring breaks no matter what. While this doesn't go for all young people, there are certainly a lot of them clustering onto beaches and into bars (the ones that are still open).

However, they could rid this stereotype by staying at home. This is because millennials and young people are often the ones found in social settings.
