We are paying off the debt for previous generations for good things that benefit us too (WWII, the formation of the NHS, the introduction of the welfare state, pensions etc).

I don't see a problem with future generations paying off our debt. After all, some (all?) future generations wouldn't exist if we had decided not to spend money on trying to control this virus, tackle climate change etc.
