‘ Unfortunately because a large majority, mainly those between 20 and 30 cant change their habits for a year or 2 to help the country get through it, we have people losing their lives just so these people can go and what... dance in a nightclub. Such a desperate requirement to be able to live.’
That’s nonsense. I’ve literally reactivated my account just to point out how much bollox that is.
People like me in that category of 20-30 sacrificed 15 months of a 32 month degree. No socialising. No lessons in classes. No shagging randoms and living the nightly life of a student getting pissed 6 nights a week. No sports clubs. Courses dramatically changed (my sports cocachint course lost the sports coaching element entirely). No discount on the degree. Still the same amounts. Landlords charging full rent and holding students to contracts pre-covid despite nobody needing to be there anymore as it was online. For a disease that was never likely to kill any of us. But we did it for the good of the country.
To read people like you throwing that effort away as though it’s just a load of us whining we can’t go ‘dancing in a nightclub’ is just nonsense and somebody had to point it out to you. [Post edited 6 Jul 2021 11:46]

Great post Romford. The youth (and at 34 I do not include myself in that) have sacrificed a huge amount and deserve nothing but praise and, more importantly, recognition in the government’s recovery policies. |  |

Don’t think anyone has asked for that.
But I’m sick and tired of seeing at every opportunity someone taking a jab at the 20-30s. It’s an easy throwaway comment but it’s very much unfair. |  |

I totally agree, wasn’t restricting my definition of ‘youth’ to university students. Pretty much including anyone up to the age of about 25 in that | |

Unfortunately every generation ends up just blaming young people.
I imagine at some point we'll both be doing it. |  |

Of course. But in this very common scenario, it was 20 to 30s being blamed. | |

The number of times I click on the replies to a news article on twitter and there’s just a load of people in their 40s, 50s, 60s slagging off my age group as though we’re all out at raves and haven’t sacrificed (at the very least) the same as them, is incredibly high. For something that realistically isn’t that dangerous to someone my age. But we still do it but have become such an easy target. Not sure whether to blame the individuals saying this stuff like ChrisMakin or the media as I’m sure they’re to blame for my age group getting blamed in some way | |

I think it's probably just deflection, easier to blame <other-group> than it is anything else. Caught my mum doing it when some kids had a bit of a party at Wollaton Park (I think it was Wollaton) at some point. They did leave a bloody mess but at the same time teenagers can be dicks. So can all people.
Wait until we see how the past year and a bit is going to be paid for. I doubt they'll be getting any of the money from pensioners... | |

No or course not. It’ll be the young won’t it. I’d say there’s less than 10% chance of any uni refund despite a year of it being entirely online and the coaching aspect completely ignored. | |

Every age group has its fair share of idiots. Incredibly, in my experience anyway, many of those in at-risk groups were some of the worst offenders, whether that's through habit or just bloody mindedness.
As Dan says though, it's usually the younger ones that get the boot stuck into them for whatever reason. But that has always been the way.

Do you mean the one at the Arboretum? That's just round the corner from where Youngest Oozami's student digs are - she reckons it was mainly locals rather than students (before that particular can of worms gets reopened!) |  |

The problem was that he didn't show me the one telling him that he did.

You've just shown the problem
" for something that realistically isnt that dangerous ti someone my age..
That is the mindset problem of the 20-30s right there.
Its not about if covid can kill you. Its how you spreading it and contribute to the NHS being overwhelmed all because in your eyes it's ok as your personal safety isnt at apparent risk because you are in the young age bracket. |  |

When I read comments like yours I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe. |
Not a parallel universe. Just a normal day on earth with a range of human beings. Some of which are kind, well-rounded people, who think of themselves and others as part of the world community. Others who are not as emotionally developed, who only think of themselves and what they can screw out of others. |  | | |

Have you read the stats re numbers & effects of long-Covid on young people Rommy? If not, I suggest you do. |  |

This is what you do.
I’ve pointed out a list of about 20 things on how my generation are pulling in the same direction as everyone else and doing out bit. But you’ve deliberately chosen to only respond to the bit that suggests we’re being selfish if you remove the context alongside it. It’s a known fact that it’s extremely unlikely to kill someone under 30 without a pre existing condition. But we still are in the lockdowns etc which is obviously right to help the spread of it. Nobody needs people like you blaming us though on the daily. | |

That wasn’t really the point of the post Ryorry. The point was that it’s so easy blaming the youth when we’re happily doing the same amount of lockdowns etc and yet receiving the blame still for the spread. All whilst it’s less likely to actually kill us compared to a 65 year old for example.
I just think there’s a lot of blame being thrown around because it’s easy to blame the young. | |

Yes because that specific mindset is the problem. And you've even said It again in your reply.
I repeat. Its not about what ages of people covid itself will kill. It's how it leads to excess deaths.
We are now going into a free for all where we will be giving the variant 50,000 opportunities to mutate per day. Why? Because of the constant anti lockdown mindsets all because ' it wont kill anyone under 30 without a pre existing condition. So let's yet back to normal. | |

How many times do you want me to say that we’re as happy as everyone else in partaking in the lockdowns. It’s just the unnecessary blame game we get that everyone disagrees with.
You spectacularly miss the point. | |

That mindset isn’t the problem though, because the idea that the majority of youngsters are flouting the rules (or indeed youngsters being the majority of those that are), is completely made up b*llocks |  |

I know - but you did write that sentence that I quoted, and I was simply trying to encourage you to stay safe - as a smart guy, I knew it was possible you might well already be aware of the prevalence of long-covid, but posted what I did in case you weren't.
Stay safe Rommy. | |

Exactly. Thankyou for making the point I’m trying to make but obviously badly because he’s refusing to even acknowledge it. | |
