why oh why does this virus have such an impact but people dot do the right thing and just LOCK THEMSELVES IN THERE HOUSES!!?!?!?

People are ignorant.

Explanation:

They refuse to "live in fear." People say this is a free country, and that they have the right to do whatever. I agree, as long someone isn't being physically or mentally hurt/disrespected, let them do it. The Constitution backs up this claim. But in this case, people are getting hurt. The Constitution cannot be changed, so, therefore, this is still "The Land of The Free." But it is legal to add to it. We can add the enforcement of masks, social distancing, and quarantine. People claim this makes them weak, and that we should not be afraid of the virus. We should be very afraid. Being afraid does not make one weak. Ignorance does.
