The contagion may be only a passing phase in the long run, but I think we have to plan on it being the defining factor in our lifetime. Gen Y (born 1980-2000) are largely a lost cause, the men being the weakest I have ever seen, and they are going to be influential until the middle of this century. We may be around to see the tide turn in our old age, but we have to make the best of the situation right now.
