Extract

Here you can read an extract from our guide:

Reflection

[...] The same stance is expressed in the drawing, at least by the man’s T-shirt. The statement on the T-shirt indicates that the man considers having to wear a mask a violation of his freedom rights. However, the drawing adds an ironic twist by having this person be seriously ill with coronavirus, which means that he ends up having his face covered anyway. The drawing therefore shows the danger of ignoring regulations such as face masks. It might not just be harmful to others - it can also be harmful to you.

The drawing might also be a reference to the fact that people who are against the use of masks and the vaccine often end up being overrepresented in hospitals.

The tweet expresses the official stance on face masks taken by most governments and organizations as Guterres encourages people to wear masks to keep everyone safe. His focus is to keep society as a whole safe, and I agree. Individual wishes must take a back seat for a while to protect society.
