I think in this context, 'education' refers more to education related to the virus specifically, rather than academic education.
In London, which, lest we forget, is the home of the highly educated, sophisticated, cosmopolitan, young, beautiful, intelligent people - as opposed to the Brexity, racist, troglodytes who inhabit the rest of the UK (source: London Twitter), so many people have absorbed the message 'wear a mask' without paying attention to the small print of, 'if you wear a mask, there are certain dos and don'ts you need to observe concerning how you wear it, and what you do with it afterwards, otherwise to a large extent you may as well shove the thing up your arse for all the good you're doing'.
For example, people are begged not to pull their masks down over their chins. But if you take the latter action, it's easier to babble inanities into your mobile phone - and sacrificing our ability to spend every second of our lives chained to our phones is one liberty that most of the population would fight to the last breath to preserve. (Rest assured, there remain those who fail to observe social distancing for an inability to look where they are walking because their eyes are fixed on the holy relic that is a gift of the corporate telecommunication gods).
The other day, in the same supermarket where I saw a mask left in a shopping basket, a bloke was queuing for tabs with his wallet in one hand, his mobile in the other and his mask clasped firmly between his teeth.
And the second a chance came to grab a pint, the crowds of beautiful, intelligent, cosmopolitan young people in Soho thronged in such numbers they barely stopped short of forming a human pyramid.
What it fundamentally boils down to, is the simple sentiment, 'I think social distancing is a really good idea - for everyone except me.'
The tendency of footballers to uncontrollable libido only exacerbates the wider societal conflict between lofty social media slogans and what people get up to in the world of flesh and blood when the whim grips them.
