Here's the thing.

People ARE staying at home. So many are on the verge of emotional breakdowns from the apparent futility of staying at home. Cases are still rising. Nothing is being done to identify why. No new measures are coming.

At what point do governments figure this out?
I ask genuinely because I'm worried about the toll this lockdown is now taking on those following the rules and I don't understand why the government is not.
Some of the messages I've received in the last 24 hours:

"I'm losing my mind."

"We sacrificed our lives for so long hoping for a better year or trying to just make it to a vaccine and now we’re there but nothing is better."

"There's nothing to be hopeful for anymore."
Following up to all the mentions:

1) I know some can't stay home. That's why we need more data about why cases are surging so we can create the most effective measures.
2) Everyone I know is staying home or bundling up and hanging outside
3) This was a rant. I am frustrated
Okay muting this thread, which is now full of people telling me they know people aren't staying home and stressing me out more. The point is this is a major government failure and our mental health is suffering for it.
