Forgive me for stating the obvious. As with almost any other bug, if there was one age group you’d want this virus to be going through, it’s young people. By and large they aren’t affected, and they can act as a wall. Establishing herd immunity and thereby protecting everyone else, including the cranky old farts here besmirching them.
The other obvious point...people who are the most in favor of staying home, locking down, panicking others, etc., tend to be people who’s lives haven’t changed much with the lockdowns. At least in my own life, the guys who didn’t go out much before, and don’t need to work...they haven’t taken much issue with the blanket restrictions in place. Just human nature and that’s fine.
But contrast that with a lot of the younger crowd and how their lives are upside down. No school for them (or their school aged kids), many of their low wage jobs cut, no recreation or entertainment. For a virus that does nothing to them, mind you. Now is it possible some of that misdirected anger comes out in riots? I dunno. No excuse for it, but it makes you wonder.
