The curtailment of our bog standard freedoms is not something to be trivialised, and the more worrying issue is that people like Homer have now been frightened into thinking that a persons freedom is a bad thing and should be be put into check.
The “evidence” is still that those under 50 are still very unlikely to die from Covid and then the jump to the under 40’s is very pronounced. Considering that those likely to go out for night out are probably younger, risk is low.
Passports for foreign travel, I can support. Passports within country? Absolutely no way.

Young, low risk patients with ongoing symptoms of covid-19 had signs of damage to multiple organs four months after initially being infected, a preprint study has suggested.1
Initial data from 201 patients suggest that almost 70% had impairments in one or more organs four months after their initial symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The results emerged as the NHS announced plans to establish a network of more than 40 long covid specialist clinics across England this month to help patients with long term symptoms of infection.

The risks of long Covid mean catching the virus is like "playing Russian Roulette" for the young and healthy, a leading immunologist has said.
A panel of health workers suffering with the long-term effects of the virus described pain, fatigue and debilitating nerve damage.
They warned against a "black and white" view of Covid as an illness that was either mild or deadly.
An estimated 5-10% of patients remain ill two months after being infected.

Long COVID: 'I thought being young and fit would protect me - I was wrong'

"It’s just like the flu" is now "it doesn’t affect the young" - in both cases, the statements were made hopefully...
