Honest question: How unique is the U.S. vs. other countries, in terms of the fraction of population unwilling to take effective measures to avoid spreading to others?

I've seen occasional headlines about super-spreading events in Europe, but I have no idea how much their attendants are representative of their fellow countrymen.

Yeah, I think that event in Berlin was one of the examples I had in mind as far as news-grabbing super-spreading.

Still, I can't really tell how much that crowd's attitude is indicative of the rest of Germany or even of other Berliners.

I'd say not at all, but then I live in the north where we have very few cases and at least in my city there is no mask compliance problem at all. I tend to hear worse stories from further south.
