Turkey, Smoking in Public Just Got Banned Here to Curb COVID

Turkey says too many people are lighting up and lowering their masks

With more than 400,000 COVID-19 cases and upward of 11,000 deaths already logged in Turkey, the country isn't messing around when it comes to its latest numbers surge. Per Bloomberg, nearly 2,700 new cases were IDed on Wednesday—the highest daily count since the end of April, according to the Health Ministry's stats—and government critics say that number is likely a conservative one, as Ankara only counts people who show symptoms.

I don't know about that! I knew turkeys walked, flew & ate stuff off the ground but I never knew they smoked. Holy Smokes, your never too old to learn!
 

Me too. That comma after "Turkey" made all the difference. The heading makes it sound like turkey has been banned this Thanksgiving! Glad to know it's about smoking in Turkey. 😁

All of these replies are entertaining :)

And in addition, I find the original post, that @Robert59 posted, is interesting as well.

I see groups of people huddled together smoking outdoors, near non-smoking buildings,
and I 've sadly wondered if there's significant transmission happenning there.
