If people are more careful, we can get this under control.

What annoys me is that some (usually young) people won't go along with the distancing rules and are careless, not taking it seriously at all.

It may not kill young people at a high rate, but if they catch it, they will likely be sicker than they've ever been in their lives. And it the misery continues for about three weeks, about twice as long as regular influenza, which goes on for about ten days.
