A virus like this is not going to phase them or change their behavior and I'm not sure it's fair to expect otherwise. Young adults that fully understand the implications of the virus, beyond their own general lack of vulnerability, are pretty enlightened.

Young adults don't vote, they drink till they pass out, they jump off tall things and they go to war willingly. They don't understand mortality (as if any of us truly do).
