Why is that not enough to encourage their universal use?

I think that the problem with this post is that it's "the latest discussion". It seems that the latest information changes daily or at least weekly.
And just because it's a discussion on the news doesn't mean that it's accurate.
I believe that because of this along with the inaccurate reporting of data that some people believe that the virus is not as big of a problem as some are making it out to be.
Personally, I wear a mask whenever I enter a public building. I think that the virus is serious and I understand that the experts are dealing with something that they've never dealt with before so there is a steep learning curve. But for many people, the changing information and falsification of numbers is enough to make them believe that it's all a big hoax.
