Fear this

- I'm not worried about them running around on their motorcycles. But I am concerned about what happens in the evening, in bars, restaurants, hotels and on the streets, he says, according to the Swedish Aftonbladet.

He is nervous that the event may be a superspreder of coronaviruses.

Will not die
