COVID-19: Discussion of Impact đŸ˜·

I’d like to see Masks go back to strongly encouraged or mandatory only on PT. I just sat through a 2 hour stage show with one on and off and it’s not the most comfortable experience and kinda pointless when you’re taking it off to eat and drink then out back on?!

Czechia has overtaken Belgium to be the country with the highest deaths per capita, and it looks like a new wave is just starting. There are a few European countries showing early signs of a new wave.
