I do like how some of these focus on your mental health, namely the last one.

Given it was necessary to specifically spell out "Do not disregard the advice of a specialist just because you do not understand.", "Do not think you are entitled to special privileges" and "Do not think it is impossible for you to get or transmit influenza." I would guess there were similar issues having everyone come to accept this reality. If there's a 2121 pandemic and similar issues I can just imagine all the various similar advisory statements being selectively picked of how well we'd figured this out in 2021.

Well, 2300y ago an ancient Greek mathematician Eratosthenes proved that earth was round and calculated its circumference based on shadows alone. Yet, 2 millenia later, there are still people who believe that earth is flat 🤦‍♂️ You can't expect everyone to have the same level of development and capacities, just because we live in the same era. Some people are still struggling to come out of the cave age mentality, others are designing time crystals.
