It means the client fetched one request and requested the connection keep-alive.
Then the client did not use the connection until Squid timed out waiting.
Q2- does this a harmful issue ? does squid affect youtube ??
It is only harmful in that the client connection was holding the socket resources for the timeout period needlessly.
Q3- if im not caching youtube videos , why should i allow youtube traffic to go to squid ??? is it better for me to deny youtube traffic from being injected in squid ??
Perhapse because your users are requesting it. Squid is a HTTP optimizing proxy not just a cache.
