This weapon is a small piece of fabric that we hang on our face and which protects us from infection and, conversely, we protect others from this infection, “said Zeman. He then expressed respect, admiration and thanks to domestic paramedics.
Then the president continued in a sharper spirit. “Don’t be fooled by people who know nothing about the epidemic, but are willing to say things that harm our society because of media attention. I mean, of course, the so-called anti-sculptors, but also others, dentists, cardiologists, singers. One singer even stated that Bill Gates was to blame for the coronavirus. Ignore the opinions of these people, because they are not professional, and trust the experts, because only they can help us, “Zeman appealed, adding that the time for agreements was over.
