To go back to the original post, there is no way Europe will be opening up before Easter.

Mortality data coming out of the UK as of the end of 2020: 80,830 registered deaths with Covid-19 in the UK.
Under 10 years: 4 deaths
Under 20 years: 20 deaths - 0.02% of all deaths
Under 30 years: 124 deaths - 0.15%
Under 40 years: 436 deaths - 0.54%
Under 50 years: 1,499 deaths - 1.85%
Under 60 years: 4,969 deaths - 6.15%
Under 70 years: 12,806 deaths - 15.84%
Under 80 years: 31,505 deaths - 38.98%
Under 90 years: 63,426 deaths - 78.47%
Over 90 years: 17,404 deaths - 21.53%

Clearly it is astonishingly small for someone under the age of 30 to die from this disease and with vaccination, we hope within the next month 85% of deaths will be prevented. That said, one of the real concerns of recent weeks is the number of 30-50 years olds currently admitted to hospital with the newer strains. We simply cannot let our guard down but this virus is also not going to go anywhere anytime soon. If we lockdown forever, we won't be able to pay for the nurses and doctors to take care of us.
