Why young people are more worried than older ones about covid-19?

 "Young people reckon they are much more likely to become infected. When asked in May, those under 34 saw their chances of catching the virus as nearly three times those of people over 70. In the, researchers noted that young people are more likely than older ones to live in cities, and to socialise regularly with friends, so may feel more exposed.

Finally, young people have more to lose. Even if few die, those who do fall victim to covid-19 lose more years of life than older folk. Survivors of severe infections may face decades of debilitating conditions, such as lung scarring, about which information is still scarce." [1]

Despite the fears of young people, it is difficult for them to give up the pleasures of life because their hormones work strongly. Therefore, after quarantine, young people really start to get this disease more often than older people. The nightmare becomes a reality for them.
