Those people haven't heard of the whole "keep your distance" thing that's the main thing in trying to stop this situation?

But they are wearing masks for the most part, so they’re trying to fight the virus at least. Same cannot be said for people in the US.

Yes, but wearing masks is like a little bandage against the bleed, in the end the only really efficient thing is keeping physical distance. I do get the reasoning we're hearing quite often here: "We won't make masks mandatory everywhere yet, because people think with masks, they don't need to keep their distance anymore and so the whole thing only spreads easier." Anyway, glad their protest worked and they can play again, now stay away from other teams please

Anyhow, as expected after the new measures were announced here Monday: no Amstel Gold Race that was supposed to be held on 10 October, the organizer announced it's cancelled.

Not officially, the ISU said they’re still looking at options for January/February.

The conflict continue, now the Football federation president is arguing that the next EURO Play-Off match against Ireland must be held with at least 500-250 people in the stadium from players to security staff etc... otherwise we are going to embarass ourselves in front of the whole europe and world...

 

 

Or the match could be played at a neutral location and we can spare the embarrassment.

January and February 2021 are most likely not going to be part of 2020  

 

I mean, you never know in these times, but I still consider that somewhat of a certainty

So...this will be the winter when the Elfstedentocht is finally possible right?
