Interesting that in a survey loads of young men have ignored the guidelines & met up with friends etc.
I get that young men feel invincible & the virus wont effect them.
However I wonder if this 'rebel' behaviour has led to many increased infections & deaths?
* Over 50 per cent of men aged 19-24 have met with a group of friends during lockdown
* Majority of those aged 13-24 are not complying with basic hygiene recommendations such as washing hands more often
Now i dont want to bash young men but if most are not complying with guidelines on social distancing or hygiene surely they must be a significant factor in virus transmission rates?
Also could this be impacting the BAME community especially as there will likely be a younger demographic overall but perhaps due to social circumstances increased chance of passing the virus on to older family members? You could perhaps add this to the fact that more work in high risk professions?
