How big a threat can it be to outdoor events? Use masks!

He has said if they give him back his seat he will reinstate the game, if not all sport will be cancelled soon 🤣🤣🤣

Influenza is still a bigger threat. Over 2,000 people were hospitalised due to influenza in Ireland this winter and at least 28 people have died. That’s more deaths from the flu than deaths from coronavirus in Korea, the second most affected country
