France bans gatherings of more than 5,000 due to coronavirusThe French government banned public gatherings with more than 5,000 people on Sa... Does that include public transportation? Train stations, and Metro? That’s a ridiculous number. Surely if you’re going to enact a ban the number should be far lower? Swiss number of 1000 seems much better.
