I think the younger generation are aware that the virus doesn’t pose them a serious threat and they are also sick of the Covid shaming and attempts to try and blame them for killing off vulnerable people.I think perhaps it's a more general "lockdown fatigue", the crisis has been going on for 7/8 months now, people have had enough and want to go back to normal.
Interesingly "lockdown fatigue" was one of the stones that was thrown at the government and SAGE over the timing of lockdown, perhaps they were right all along.
Also, the spike is among under 30's, are they really the ones glued to the news outlets? I doubt many of them pay much attention to the pronouncements of the PM, let alone the various civil servants.
Finally, just from personal observations, I think this age group had largely said f*** it by the end of May.
You’re right, they have just said f*** it and to a certain extent, I don’t blame them.
