Covid-19 is real and there are simple measures to protect yourself against a possible infection. Wearing mask is one of them. But in US, there are hundreds who are against wearing of the mask for variety of reasons. One such anti-mask activist has passed away due to Covid-19.

Caleb Wallace (30) was the so-called anti-mask activist and he helped organise "The Freedom Rally" in July 2020. As per media reports, he is a father of three children and his wife is pregnant with their fourth child.&nbsp;

His wife Jessica told a local newspaper that Caleb began experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 on July 26. However, he refused to get tested or go to the hospital. He self-medicated with Vitamin C, Zinc, Aspirin and Ivermectin. Health officials in the US have urged people not to take Ivermectin to treat Covid.

He was taken to emergency room on July 30 and had been unconscious since August 8. He passed away on Saturday.

“To those who wished him death, I’m sorry his views and opinions hurt you. I prayed he’d come out of this with a new perspective and more appreciation for life. I can’t say much more than that because I can’t speak for him,” wrote his wife Jessica on the family's GoFundMe page.

"The minimum distancing is not being respected by most (of the demonstrators) despite repeated requests," the police said. "There is no other option than to break up the gathering."&nbsp;

Reports said there were at least &nbsp;3,000 officers posted to contain the 18,000 people even as Chancellor Merkel urged citizens to &nbsp;guard against the virus.

"This is a serious matter, as serious as it's ever been, and you need to carry on taking it seriously," the German chancellor said. However, protesters with signs: "stop the corona lies" and "Merkel must go" took to the streets in Brandenburg Gate in central Berlin.

Berlin police chief Barbara Slowik had earlier said demonstrators will be cleared "very quickly" if they did not adhere to virus safety rules.

"We will not be able or willing to watch tens of thousands assemble and create infection risks," the police chief said.

In Paris, protesters chanted "no to the health dictatorship" and "let our children breathe" as anti-mask activists held a rally. Demonstrations occurred in London as well in Trafalgar Square with protesters carrying banners "fake News," or "masks are muzzles".

Meanwhile, German chancellor Merkel said that the virus will be "more challenging" in the coming winter and autumn months.

"We will have to live with this virus for a long time to come. It is still serious. Please continue to take it seriously," Merkel told the nation.
