Definitely a big slip in adherence and the cue for deli food by hung over students today would be a super spreader event itself, nevermind the parties the night before.
That in itself is why the infection rates are higher .
No blame just matter of fact ..19 to 24 year olds .
At some stage we have to call it and allow a certain level of infection circulate in those age groups , but because of the risk to so many who are not yet vaccinated we are stuck in limbo.
It is a risk to them too , from so many issues that are only beginning to be discovered month by month under the long Covid and long term effects umbrellas.
But at some stage it will be said, do we close down the country and our economy any longer , not to protect older people from dying or becoming severely ill because they will / are being vaccinated , but for a group of people who may be at risk of developing long term effects from an illness they don't believe is a problem to them ?
And are they mature enough to make that decision for their longterm health yet, even though they are old enough to vote ?
At the moment we can't let it RIP until the majority are vaccinated to prevent vocs taking over , but more and more we are hearing that some people don't care , don't believe Covid is much to worry about .
So when do the rest of us throw the towel in and say ," right so, get the virus / don't get it , we are protected so who cares anymore ? "

Yes same here. I chose not to travel down the country at Christmas as I'd loads of siblings doing so, but that means a long time not to see family
Haven't seen any of them since last Summer .
Will be travelling down this Summer regardless . ( living dangerously
)
Thing is, will they want us dirty Dubs down the country ?Help keep Boards going , subscribe or donate if you can.

I can tell from your posts that you severely underestimate the damage these restrictions are having on the economy, the mental health of many and the long-term damage on hundreds of thousands of peoples lives.
Maybe financial ruin, mental health problems and peoples lives falling apart aren't as sinister as death but at some point we have to strike a balance between protecting the vulnerable and protecting the rest of the people effected by the restrictions.
It's not just a subset of people wanting to party, it's people who's lives are literally destroyed, are we supposed to tell them to 'hold firm' and tell them to be thankful because they're not dead?
That point is rapidly approaching and by the end of April or May, we have to be at level 3 at an absolute minimum because anything less at that stage (given the level of projected vaccination) is utter stupidity and a sincere loss of the perception of the overall state of the country right now.0 -
