Considering there possibly won't be a vaccination for quite some time, if at all, but things are going to have to start returning to normal for the sake of everything else - economy, education, other health issues etc. There is currently so much opposition to easing out of lockdown, people will have to get back to work and schools cannot be part time for years (childcare issues plus the massive impact on disadvantaged dc, plus the dc not engaging in home learning). Spoke to a few people today who are horrified at the thought of a return to normal as they are frightened of catching the virus. I was a bit surprised a they were under 35 with dc (no known health problems). It's like they think it's just going to miraculously vanish.

Risk to young people - their fatalities have gone down during this time. Fewer traffic accidents and crime violence. Covid is very low risk to most under 30s compared to normal life!

IFR from a PHE study shows the risks to working age people are very small. Funnily enough, they dont share this on the news...
