Community Gathering Despite Illness Outbreak

Very Easy Resolve The Paradox Resolve Contradiction

During the annual festival, the community center was expected to accommodate hundreds of visitors. However, on the day of the festival, the center reported a sudden outbreak of a highly contagious illness in the city, resulting in the cancellation of the event. Surprisingly, despite the illness, several community members were seen gathering together at nearby parks and homes, sharing food and festivities.

This situation presents a contradiction: if the contagious illness was serious enough to cancel the festival, why did many people gather elsewhere, seemingly unconcerned about the health risks?

The illness may not have been as contagious as reported.

Most people were unaware of the illness's severity.

Many community members had already recovered from the illness.

Some people attended the festival despite its cancellation.

The gathering was planned before the illness outbreak.
