Well yes, it's all a bit academic but the graphic they show has 2 major peaks but as @LG_ says the second peak started to rise in September and didn't really drop till late March and April. I think as the younger generation put up with restrictions while the older ones got the vaccine, it's only fair we should wait just a little while longer so more younger people get the vaccine. They are saying on R4 this morning there are still 2 million over 50 & 13 million younger people awaiting vaccination.
Pansyface that's very interesting, about your brother,awful mind. The news leads is to believe Australia are doing brilliantly and if you pay you get MUCH better health care.
G7 has certainly put Cornwall on the map, unfortunately for the wrong reasons. hotels, bars and shops is St ives closed, house prices shot up. Form our local news “In the latest 24-hour reporting period of confirmed positive cases, data released by the Government today (Friday, June 11) showed that 82 positive Covid-19 cases had been recorded in the latest daily figure.
In comparison, there were 91 positive tests recorded in the county during the whole of May.
PHE's figures also show that between June 5 and 11, a total of 216 people in Cornwall had a confirmed positive Covid test - an increase of 644.8% compared to the previous seven days.
They had to shut the Pedn Olva hotel because of Covid positive tests. . (St Ives seafront) The journalists billeted there had to go elsewhere.
I think the youngsters had a bad press because of a few very shouty younguns. My mum always said that an empty can made the most noise. They certainly seem very proficient at making their views known about it being a trial/no such thing as covid/it's only flu/not being injected with Bill Gates microchips/ it alters your genes. Sometimes I think they are all russian trollbots. If you listened to them before the last election, Jeremy Corbyn was going to win by a landslide.
Despite both of us being double jabbed, we are still being careful anywhere near strangers.
I'm frustrated with people here in texas unwillingness to get the vaccine. We have the vaccine available but many people here are afraid to take it. The vaccines available are showing to be effective even against the new varients.
Went into Town today,there was a ,",pop up" vaccine center in the shopping mall, bloke,no kind of ID saying he was a ",meet and greet" volunteer,there was these large pink and yellow "structures" being made. We walked round them,it was a bit weird because there are strict keep left signs on the floor and podiums,but you have to navigate the these things, bloke was there,we thought building them,asked what they were. He made some jokey thing about water slides, chatting about how the vaccine program was going,he said the round about ,30,s who were being jabbed and having side effects was in their minds,they didn't want the vaccine,done sort of mass hysteria and they are wussies. That REALLY annoyed me. My daughter s friend,32 is covered in tattooes and piercings,is a right tough nut,felt rough 2 days,bit better on the 3rd went out collapsed. My oldest daughter, same, collapsed in a shop on day 3. Really infuriates me, people saying it's in the mind
There seems to be less unpleasant reactions to the Pfizer vaccine. That’s the one being used for younger people I believe. We have one of those “ no appointments” clinics local to us being run by a pharmacist I know very well. They are a good idea if they encourage young people to get vaccinated. Let’s hope they will speed up a return to normality
I've been very cheered by the responses sticking up for younger people, as I just get exasperated by the opinions that they've all ignored the rules/been fully responsible for spreading it/deserve to suffer etc etc. @debs64, @FlyDragon, @Allotment Boy, @fidgetbones thank you especially for your comments. I must admit, I read g.king's comment and got incredibly angry, but decided against engaging with them as it's such an ignorant thing to say, and is just a lazy way of thinking I've seen repeated elsewhere.
@g.king I hope you are able to listen to other viewpoints and realise that perhaps young people are not the covid demons you think they are. Wishing for one generation to suffer vilely because of a very limited image that has been presented by media outlets is a really ugly way of thinking.
@Anna33 there are good and bad in all age groups but I think younger people have suffered more from lockdown. All 3 of my sons lost their jobs, one lost his home, my daughter has had to postpone her wedding, youngest daughter struggled with pregnancy and a new baby with little medical support. My niece is suffering with extreme depression and bulimia caused by social isolation and they are probably the lucky ones! Young people will be paying for this for years and the damage to the environment is incalculable.
Many older people have also suffered terribly but at least have not been demonised for behaving normally. In my experience young people are very unselfish.

This surge in cases comes as the G7 Summit is now underway in Carbis Bay in St Ives, with the eyes of the globe focused on the world's leaders who have travelled to Cornwall in recent days”.
