https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/...es-reported-the-1918-pandemic-zn3rzztk9?hcb=1 Paywalled but should show the first open. Its not photoshop. Even with no vaccine, 1/20 dying it shows that idiots and conspiracy necessitated enforcement in 1918. People are just too soft now, too molly coddled. The same peoples and constitution give or take some rulings, less the convention of networked idiots on social media.
Wearing a mask in publicly accessible areas is just common sense. It's such a minor inconvenience, it's practically nothing. Yet plenty of imbeciles still complain since their lives are otherwise too boring.
