I'm in my thirties, and I'm pretty damn sure I'm hosed. And the youth is even sure to be screwed, even though they are arguably the age class that's suffered the most already (well, leaving aside the few million casualties).
This is something that is very difficult for me to understand. It is largely agreed that the younger the person is, the less dangerous the disease. If everyone 50+ have been offered a vaccine, wouldn't that be a good time to open up society and end all restrictions? While that might bring an increase in case numbers (among the younger crowd), it should only have a very minor effect on hospitalized cases, let alone deaths. And everyone would still have the option to sit at home and wait for the jab, should they wish to do that.

But Courmish, with some research, you will be able to travel quite extensively this summer. If you live in the HUS area, you'll get a free flu certificate each time, and if you fly TK, you will not need a certificate for your homebound journey.
