“A Lost Youth? Do Teenagers Sacrifice Their Youth for
the Health of the Elderly?”, DW News documentary (11 min) from Nov. 6.
The film shows scenes with teens in Greece, Poland,
and the UK. There is mention of a secondary
fallout on GLBTQ youth.
Generally, teens and college or university age kids
are giving up inclass school and normal social activities and sports, allegedly,
in some accounts, to protect the elderly and people in nursing homes (?)
because the elderly are much more vulnerable to COVID-19 – but the cavalry may
be on the way with at least two vaccines.
But students are kept under almost dorm detention and
told not to party because of the bizarre nature of the pandemic.
It’s important to remember that some young adults have
died, and some do have severe disabilities, and a few have gotten a post-COVID
severe shock (autoimmune) syndrome. One
18 year old died of cardiac arrest in Ohio after apparently mild COVID.
