Bill Maher has instructed millennials to “live [their] pre-corona life” as they are “the least likely to die from it”.
The host of HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher said it is down to a younger generation to lead the world back to a “life not dominated by fear” amid the pandemic as they “have just the immune systems to do it”.
He compared the current situation with the one people were facing during the Second World War, stating: “The war made them great because they rose to the challenge.”
He then said that younger people should combat “anxiety” they might have about returning to a normal life by resuming their everyday activities sooner rather than later.
“I’m not asking you to storm the beaches at Normandy. Just storm the beaches. And the stores. Go to the mall and buy some pants. Remember pants?”
He urged them to take the necessary precautions (”do the masks!” he said), but said the chances of them catching the virus is “very unlikely”.
He heaped praise upon millennials following news that tens of thousands had signed up to be injected with coronavirus to help find a vaccination.
“What a great way to fight that generation’s reputation for being safety-obsessed scaredy cats,” he said.
