Maskless and Sweaty: Clubbing Returns to Britain for a Weekend
The New York Times
In Liverpool, people danced together at a warehouse party as part of a scientific trial of how and if social distancing can safely end.
LIVERPOOL, England — Around 3,000 clubbers were rammed up against each other inside a Liverpool warehouse on Friday night, waving their hands in the air to pounding techno music. Some young women in bikini tops were dancing together, passing around half-full bottles of rosé, while next to them a middle-aged man was dancing so hard a huge sweat patch had formed across his back. All of them were beaming — their smiles were clearly visible, since no one was wearing a face mask, let alone social distancing.More Related News
