@CDCgov study notes that the expectation that young adults would likely be fine if they contracted #COVID19, coupled with social or peer pressure, might help explain transmission patterns among young adults.

Some of the example quotes mentioned in the @CDCgov study are quite remarkable yet unsurprising:
“I felt like everybody else in here is not going to wear a mask, I might as well just go in there and not wear a mask as well. I don’t
want to be seen as different.”

I say remarkable mainly when you look at this thread https://twitter.com/BBCLBicker/status/1314390156435058688
