If, and only if, people could turn out to be more stupid than they are already regarding the science proven in East Asia and Oceania, their primal example would be available for the show in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
The denial from the citizens became so clear and thoroughly compact in the United Kingdom, that there has been an actual protest where protesters gathered in public spaces to actually warn the Prime Minister’s Cabinet to not force them to wear masks in the public.
A sizeable crowd gathered in Hyde Park to admonish and rescind Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s announcement, formally making all UK citizens to wear masks when entering shops starting next week. Some protesters waved placards referring to masks as “mind control” devices, while others were pictured promoting baseless conspiracy theories including the flat earth theory and a supposed link between 5G and Covid-19.
Several demonstrators wore masks to illustrate their opposition to face masks.
Keep Britain Free, which claims on its website to support “Freedom of speech, choice and thought”, contributed to the mass gathering for the movement. A number of studies have found that the coronavirus spreads mainly via airborne transmission and wearing a mask is the most effective way to stop person-to-person spread.
But despite suffering the deadliest outbreak in Europe, the proportion of people wearing masks outdoors in the UK is lower than it is in other European countries. One study by the Royal Society and the British Academy found that just 25% of Brits wore face masks or coverings in public places in late April, compared to 83.4% in Italy and 63.8% in Spain.
Last week, Johnson said people will be fined up to £100 ($125) if they do not wear masks in shops and supermarkets from July 24.
The Prime Minister was recently seen wearing a mask himself for the first time, after his government spent the first weeks of the pandemic dismissing their effectiveness.
Many countries have already mandated mask-wearing. A fine for refusing to cover one’s face in public places came into effect in France on Monday, and similar rules have been in place for weeks in Germany, Spain and elsewhere.
Wearing masks was already compulsory on public transport in the UK.
