Yes, that's the point that people in this thread is making.
It doesn't matter how serious covid-19 is, nor what the R rate is: young people perceive themselves to be at low risk, and they don't care about the risk to other people, so they're going to go out as much as they used to.
You only need to look at crowded parks and beaches or queue outside fast food places to see this.
Cummings' shenanigans haven't helped (which is I suspect the point of them).
