Some people are so stupid. 157,000 deaths?. Some still don't wear a mask. One example

only, of how stupid people can be: (general example..no specific person)
....There are people in certain states who know that when there is a "TORNADO WARNING", they do not go outside for fear of a tornado..

...Yet the same people are so sure that they will ..not get Covid 19, that those same people do NOT wear mask in crowds of people. I guess stupid is still stupid.

The ability to adapt to the environment and circumstances is a key aspect of survival in evolution. That is how we, a rather vulnerable and weak species by comparison, made it to this point.

Survival of the fittest means the most adaptable, not the strongest. Those who are able to ignore that fact are actually going against our natural instincts and capabilities which may be some form of self-selection for extinction.

All politics and ideology aside, it should be obvious that adapting to what's going on is crucial to life itself. A failure to do that can be both foolish and fatal.

So your evolution argument really doesn't work.
