1245: Mask Up!

UK SAGE Document on Psychological Coercion

A leaked document from the UK's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) outlines strategies for increasing public adherence to social distancing. The document suggests using "hard-hitting emotional messaging" to increase the perceived level of personal threat and mobilizing "social disapproval" against those who do not comply. Critics describe the tactics as a form of sinister psychological manipulation.
