It is hard to contain a virus if people are having doubts and making mistakes.
Not only that, but they're also are a lot of people that unexpectedly got the virus, from the frontliners that are exposed to the virus to the people that got the virus from getting out and there are also the asymptomatic cases. If people are actually taking care of themselves, they would be following the protocols but most of them are not following that. If they wanted the virus to be contained, they shouldn't lie to health workers and they should follow quarantine protocols and not spread fake news since that also makes other people heat up.
That is the worst thing about this virus and showed me why we need a bit more Darwinish approach to life. There were soo many people who are uneducated or just plain idiots who didn't even believe that there is a virus going on, they literally got out without a mask whenever they can and not only they risked their own lives which is totally fine because people who are idiots like that could very well die and the average IQ of the world would gone up, but they also risked other people's lives as well. It all started when people started to question vaccination, something that allows you to stay alive, to be useless.
At the end of the day we are talking about people who are so so stupid that they would rather "question" by their own beliefs and their friends instead of all the scientists, at that point you just agree with them and let them go out and die.
