Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I see latest brainwave from Boris means handing out fast food tokens and free taxi trips to the young if they get vaccinated.
So we're in the midst of the greatest teenage obesity epidemic in our history and our government are handing out Maccy D vouchers and free transport to younguns so they don't even have to walk off the calories.

Priceless knob heads!

Be interesting if that helps to increase the jab uptake as that will mean all those who've declined on the grounds of being unsure of its safety or other moral grounds will have abandoned their principles for a cheaper takeaway which is in keeping with the utter selfishness and disregard for the lives of others that the younger generation have largely shown in this pandemic.

Bit harsh on the younger generation. A lot of young people have sacrificed a huge amount.

Whenever I see those anti vaxxer protests in London the average isn't particularly young. All the famous lunatics like that ex nhs nurse, Piers Corbyn etc aren't exactly youth are they.

Incentivising vaccination has been relatively successful in some parts of USA. A lot of states have offered various financial rewards. I think its a good thing, the more vaccinated the better..l

The absolute state of the planet being left to them I wouldn't blame them one bit for being selfish.

Surely you strive to be better, not things worse.

Interesting opinion to condone the reckless endangerment of human life.

I wouldn't say they've sacrificed, that gives the sense of it being done willingly.

The fools who attend the marches aren't particularly young as far as i can tell but they make up a minute percentage of the population.

Based on my eyes over the course of this pandemic it has been overwhelming the young generation who have not been wearing masks, been meeting in large groups throughout and have paid little heed to the rules and guidelines.

Those were bad first dose side effects

Thats not what I have seen. Few idiots in every age group. In supermarkets etc you see loads of maskless people in their 40s and 50s. Fair enough you don't see too many 80 year olds without masks but thats probably because they recognise they're really at risk.

Maybe it's because i live in a city centre and opposite a park but every single morning there is a group of around 15 working out on the bars and countless groups sat around with spliffs and booze or just hanging out.

The only people over 25 were people walking or running alone/with partner or walking their dogs.

It's not like I'm taking a snapshot of a isolated incident, apart from things being shut it didnt seem like their social lives were affected at all.

Maskless people.
Glasgow, take a bow.
Couldn't believe the lack of wearers in that City.

This a different result than the Provincetown data the CDC recently released - going to be important to have more studies to see what transmission in real life is versus having to make assumptions using the viral loads.
