Under the was going on and thats these are people that we can assume as coronavirus skeptics have taken no precautions in recent months in a time when infection numbers are increasing we dont believe these gatherings to be responsible.

Its a risk ministers say is growing blame is its. The problem is the numbers are too high too early given that winter is coming and we dont currently know what effect it will have and hell the flu and other illnesses will affect it the numbers are too high at this early stage.
