“New faster spreading variant of COVID”

My friends and I have been extremely cautious throughout this pandemic yet we are first in line for the vaccine. Why don’t they give it to young people first as they are the ones who will have to keep the economy going, and when they have had the vaccine they can visit their family who are isolated in care homes.

Bluebellwould : I was concerned to hear about the new variant that apparently mutates and is new to what has been seen so far.
I would just say however that I am in the south east, and there is 95 percent of mask wearing, social distancing certain amount of people in shops at one time and many people being careful.
I think central London was looking worse with crowds on the streets Christmas shopping and lack of masks and social distancing. The mayor Mr. Khan was still waffling yesterday about London going into Tier 3 and how many businesses would close down, I am sick and tired hearing that waffle what about the people that will end up in hospital and die surely that is more important.
I have had enough of it all.

But someone has to be running businesses and earning money to pay for the medical treatment. It's not a separate issue 3nanny6

They can’t visit their relatives in care homes if they’ve had the vaccine as the it doesn’t give 100% protection and no one knows if it prevents transmission yet. But they can if their relative has the vaccine and they visit taking all possible precautions. Still won’t be 100% safe even then but it’s the best we’ve got thus far. And it’s the older people that will end up in hospital if they catch it, not the younger ones.
