Over here in CovidLand, the soccer matches have still continued due their advertising contracts,
although the usual crowds are not allowed into the stadiums. (Another boon for TV channels!)
But to keep the atmosphere of a cheering, singing-and-booing audience, the TV company -and
sometimes the actual football club, pipe in the raucous noise of soccer-fans!
I know it's a bit late in the day... but do you think the crowd-tape can be posted to the capitol?!
I dunno. I think they are afraid to pipe ANYTHING in at the moment, for fear that "someone is out to get them". There is a name for such mental aberration in psychological circles, but that name escapes me at the moment...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
