To be fair that was in response to an equally unsubstantiated claim that younger people were not being hospitalised also not supported by any data.
Case rates may have increased, especially in the North West, in the "younger" population and have dramatically reduced in the older population but have a guess who's going to hospital? (data week 23 of 2021)

COVID continues to be a disease that affects the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. If there are "younger" people being admitted to hospital the % certainly in the under 25s will be so small as not to register in any meaningful statistic. |
So which is it?
Younger people don’t get hospitalised as OB said or what I stated:

What you mean to say is that you don’t think that’s of any meaningful consequence because you’d prefer to open up the economy. As you have throughout.

You’re firmly in the latter camp. As someone privileged and unaffected by restrictions it’s unsurprising I suppose that you give no consideration to the health impact for groups that restrictions are there to protect (the unvaccinated due to age).
Gladly Boris is about to put paid to this June 21st nonsense and show us the meaningful data the Government are using (who knows - it might even be granular enough for you but I have my doubts), provide reassurance that the economy needs that we are doing all we can to avoid another lockdown.
Who knows in 5 weeks we could all be down the lap dancing.
