You can have 75% of the population agreeing that the guidelines are really important and much be followed to a tee.

Yet there's nothing you can say or do that can change the minds of the remaining 25% of the population to follow the guidelines.

Logically, that means America is doomed to fail this fight against Covid.

Or any other similar type of viruses that is sure to come in the future. Given the drastically increasing global population density and the scarcity of resources.

It's funny, we survived the threat of nuclear weapons and the cold war, only to be defeated by the smallest of an adversary, an insignificant strain of molecular proteins.

The elephant who ignored the mouse on its feet.
"There's the problem." No -- Not a problem. People are responsible. YOU have the problem.

Don't worry about other people. Worry about yourself.

What constitutes "success" against a virus that will infiltrate/expose an entire population in time, one way or another? You haven't said. Because you don't know.

We haven't been defeated by the coronavirus. The damage we have suffered has been due to our reaction to the virus.
