This is the same as covid. Takes everyone to buy in. The first round people were champs. By the second, people were finding excuses to blame others so they didn't have to do anything, and finally falling into downplaying science, experts, the vulnerable, deaths of seniors being inevitable, anything they could so they didn't personally have to be inconvenienced by reality.
Unfortunately people as an anonymous collective are pretty ####ty at not being selfish. I'd guess 25%ish actually care about the collective good enough to make personal sacrifices. And there are the 5% who, out of spite and low intelligence, will run a tap on all day just to stick it to a bureaucrat.
Nope, not much hope for humanity.
