Does the word "dumb" here express a mild or strong emotion of ridicule?

Is the word the equivalent of "idiot"?

Dumb Britain. Social distancing on Brighton Beach by people of very low intelligence. American friend tells me she gets dirty looks for wearing a mask (because Fox News public thinks Covid-19 is a conspiracy to unseat Trump).

Richard Dawkins rarely expresses mild emotions. He's calling them stupid.
