The variant is said to be more transmissible than COVID-19 — though as of now, it’s not thought to be more virulent or resistant to vaccines and treatment. That said, a new study suggests who may be most at risk for contracting B.1.1.7: Those under 20 years of age.


quote:

The study, which was conducted by researchers at Imperial College London and others and has not yet been peer-reviewed, found that those under 20 years of age are more likely to make up a higher percentage of B.1.1.7 cases — or what is identified in the study as the "Variant of Concern" or VOC.

Available data indicates "a shift in the age composition of reported cases, with a larger share of under 20-year-olds among reported VOC than non-VOC cases," per the study.


They want to close our schools again.

Not one word in the article of the new strain being dangerous or life-threatening to that group, they just SEEM to catch it easier.

Isn't it probably a good thing that younger people catch it?

Then again, everyone seems like an idiot today.

Nobody cares. Mutations happen all the time. No one is dying from the virus except businesses and people who are depressed about it. Thanks China.

The article even states there is nothing noted in the new strain that shows any hint of the virus being more “pertinent” towards younger people

Younger people are out and about more now, hence why they have more cases

2020 begs to differ. Americans are so easily manipulated, and it’s sad and scary.

translation: we’ve noticed that those under 20 y/o aren’t wearing masks or social distancing bc they’re not fearful enough.

Well isn’t that convenient after they learned we don’t really care about the elderly or high risk population.

It’s been fear porn since the beginning, but people are still buying every bit of it.
