What's been disappointing to me throughout this experience is the fact that a large percentage of people don't seem to understand contagion.

The idea that a young person is safe is convenient for young people, but irrelevant. We never seemed to communicate to a segment of the population that we are trying to keep them from spreading it, as well as keeping them from catching it.

I think that this is communicated clearly enough. People will do what they want to do. For example, you can't get clearer than printing pictures of cigarettes-affected lungs with warnings on cigarette packs. Yet certain people keep smoking.
