Not really. This was covered on here or the other thread a couple of weeks ago. Yes, Texas is fully open, as are several other very warm US states. Texas has a very low population density and an outdoor lifestyle. The virus does not like sun and heat.

"We're seeing in places like Michigan that the people who are now getting hospitalized by large numbers are people in their 30s and 40s," Wen said. "And now we're even seeing children getting infected in larger numbers, too."

Let me get this straight.  Are we saying that a virus, disproportionally impacts unhealthy overweight people?

Being young doesn't make you invincible.  It gives you a better chance of not becoming ill but so does looking after yourself.

Government cant say it (and shouldn't have to) but people need to be taking responsibility for their own wellbeing as well.

I really don't think we can use America as a yard stick for anything.

Fat people get sick! Hardly breaking news is it?

I have absolutely no comment to make about people leading by example.  None whatsoever.

But out now, I know a couple who were in were fairly fit but were asthmatic which is why they were badly impacted

UK Medicines Regulator now considering restriction of vaccinations of "young people" with AZ over ongoing fears of blood clotting concerns. Further statements to be issued on Weds and Thurs. European MR still feels that there is a connection. All this potentially slows the vaccine rollout. BoJo encourages people to continue getting their jabs (source Sky News).

Here we go again.... a single instance of someone getting shirty in a Hub and suddenly it becomes such a major problem that we all need to be lectured about it.

In fairness, he has to keep the vaccination hub staff on side. If they make a complaint that is relayed to him, and he isn't seen to be supporting them, it won't turn out well.

still no evidence provided by anyone that the AZ vaccine is the cause of the clots, the numbers are very small (1 in 600,000 i think) as to be almost negligible.

Still Pfizer's rich investor's clearly have media weight behind them to keep it in the news, the BBC and Mail running multiple fear stories today.
