Well it’s obviously an age thing as I doubt many of us would be queuing to going into a club even if Covid had never appeared.
However before we start a “let’s kick the kids” bandwagon rolling it’s worth casting our minds back and first remembering that, at the start of the epidemic, it was recognised that, even if they caught it, youngsters were not really at risk of hospitalisation or death. It was mainly us oldies and it was us the restrictions were designed to protect. So the kids were asked to take one for the team.
So at the start of last year all the posts were along the lines of “selfish brats. Have you seen them all out enjoying themselves. Don’t they know it’s putting us at risk?”
Then after vaccinations and double jabs it was “hurrah I can now go on my holidays!!! Yippee!! What do you mean what about the kids? Why should I suffer on account of them? I’ve booked my two weeks”.
And now we’re starting to get back to “selfish brats. Don’t they know this clubbing is putting us at risk”.
And just to put the wind up you I did read or hear someone say that someone over 65 is still more at risk of dying even after a double jab, than a youngster who hadn’t been vaccinated.
