That's true only right now while the borders are effectively closed. The P1 variant in Brazil is killing more people under 50, and eventually it will be seen everywhere, as all the variants do.
There is no way the government will allow the borders to open again until a large (75%?) part of the population has been vaccinated. Bummer for anyone in this industry.
