Corrected it for you, and quoted for truth.
This virus seems to have little to no affect on younger people. In fact, this is what makes this viral infection unique -- it seems to bypass most of the young and very young completely (normally teens and young adults pull through OK regardless) including those with an assumed weaker immune system, like kids under 5. Not a single child has died yet. ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/20...eat-virus/ ) And from reports, it doesn't seem to have much, if any, affect on people between 10 and 55.
I am not at all into conspiracy theories either, but someone had suggested that this viral infection is a tailored man-made version (Covid-19) of the coronavirus (which was first observed in the 1960's) with the intention of killing the oldest members of society. Even suggesting that the US is behind this in order to ease their social security deficit. While I am not buying that theory, it does seem rather convenient.
But whatever the case, you have a whole bunch of 18-22 year olds partying at this Ezra event, I doubt anyone of them will get sick enough to need anything more than a Halls cough candy. And these uni kids already know the risk to them is really low, and a huge party is a party is a party.
I think there is more risk to the overweight and unhealthy police officers and by-law officers that might patrol it. And I would never usually suggest to allow a party to go ahead like this full-steam, but this year, they need to leave it alone and deal with it next year.
