The Virus

In my opinion it is sad to see that everything is being taken away from the teens right now. They should be at partys, clubs and just live their life. But they are just inside and can’t do much. It’s actually our time right now where we could be kind of free.

This hit home hard, I was starting to get out a lot more right before the pandemic and having that all stripped away from me hurt. Starting college to meet new people, going out with mates, going to gigs - stuff I was just starting to do more and more and now it's all gone, and probably won't come back for a considerable amount of time.

Govt here in the UK is discussing rapid tests on the doors of venues like bars, clubs and gigs from what I've heard, would be a massive step in the right direction to get us back to normal. Just hope everyone gets the vaccine nice and quickly so we can start lifting restrictions - I'm so sick of this lockdown now, I'm sure lots of people feel the same.

My view probably seems quite selfish in comparison to the goals of the government, but being a young person this is the sort of thing I enjoy doing and I'm confident there are other people reading this thread that feel a similar way.
