Not entirely true. Here in Slovenia we are equally stupid if not more. Go back to "Our World in Data" and check out the charts (especially mortality). Covid measures are highly politicised, albeit in the opposite direction as in USA, meaning that the right (governing) is for the measures while the left is ignoring them. Mainly because they think that the government is using covid crisis for theft and corruption (not at all without any basis). But now a few lawyers came out saying that lockdowns and covid measures are inconstitutional, which gives wings to the opposition and anti-maskers. Meanwhile regular folks keep gathering in private spaces, disrespect wearing masks or social distancing and our numbers of infected elderly homes are reaching world highs (per capita, of course). It is a sad thing to watch.
