Must ask: does every Athenian really obey the strict measures? Or are they just so tried of this whole pandemia that they “just go around doing their usual things”???? A fully understandable reaction but then the restrictions does not work! We all have to obey, otherwise we are stuck in this misery for a long time! Maybe years! And there are NO exeptions possible. Every party or public event (small or large) spreads this damned virus! Take care and keep distance!
