Just seen this on the lunchtime news. These are predominantly young people and social distancing is just none existent here. Coming on the back of the raves in Manchester and Leeds over the weekend, plus the various demonstrations around the country over the last couple of weeks which also involved predominantly young people, are the youth in this country giving up on the fight against covid-19.?
Even down here, where social distancing rules have been pretty much complied with, I have noticed over the last couple of weeks that more groups of youths are gathering and students seem to be returning to the area just in time for the pubs reopening. The local Asda was like freshers last week with groups blocking aisles with trollies full of beer.
If they are behaving like this with social distancing, I'm wondering what their attitude to test and trace is going to be? Will they comply with isolation? Will they even bother getting tested? or download the app if it ever gets introduced.?
Do they have any understanding that their actions are risking a second wave of the virus? Do they even care given that it won't have a serious effect on them personally?
It's all very worrying to see scene like these when the country is trying to introduce an organised and safe exit from the lockdown.
