The aim is to reduce hospitalisation
If kids get covid , if most of the population get covid , we are ok
Restrictions on schools , going on the piss , going to mass gatherings etc are all a bit much but if they are put in place they are there to stop the spread .
Because one of our friends or relatives could be the poor sod who snuffs it at 45 because the hospital couldn't get him or her treated in time .
I honestly don't know why people don't suck it up and try and abide by the advice given by the scientists .
