One last blast. Manchester City was completely shocked.
Millions of people across major towns and cities across the north of England know that they are facing tighter and stricter restrictions early next week – which is why they are taking full advantage this weekend.
In Manchester, stream Corona Virus A hotspot and university city with tens of thousands of students, it is incredibly busy until 10pm.
Bars, restaurants and hookah cafes are fully stocked.

It’s hard to blame anyone here, what people do is not illegal, they are not breaking the rules by going out to eat, drink and hookah – but while all this is happening, the virus is spreading all over the world in northern England, especially in Manchester, where it is transmitted Persons to hospital again.
