Given how close 65+ would be to those who actually fought in the wars, it's surprising that they would support that kind of measure.


Also, that pretty much everyone in that age group doesn't work and actually could afford to stay at home without losing anything other than things they do for enjoyment, whereas the younger age groups are typically also not just working, but also probably more likely to do jobs they can't do from home. I would expect most polls on restrictions would have less support in the younger age groups than the older ones, which are also the groups less at risk... and actually, I do think it's fair to expect some people would still feel safer staying in, but that now people need to be able to make the choice, not having that forced on them, especially if they have been vaccinated.

You don't know that - as in unconscious bias. Very many over 65s work.

It might be noted that if you turn the graph left 90 degrees, it pretty much matches the hospitalisation graph.
