Drinking places like bars and nightclubs are opened for mass gatherings but schools are closed for our children because of Covid 19. This is a joke. Covid 19 can kill the adults that assembled in bars and nightclubs not our children in schools.
Hmmm Wandas. Churches and schools are closed down for fear of Corona but bars and drinking spots are opened for not fear of Corona right? This is funny. The ban of more than 50 persons in an area is absolutely ridiculous in relation to churches. And what we need now most is God and his Mercy. Not opened bars and drinking spots.
