Huge crowds of partygoers descended on a club in Liverpool on Friday, no masks or social distancing in sight.
They were there for fun -- but also in the name of science.
Large indoor gatherings are still banned in England and the live music event without face masks or social distancing was part of the UK government’s Events Research Program, which is collecting data to help officials determine how nightclubs and events might return to the UK this summer, according to a government notice.
