This year’s St. Patrick’s Day is certainly a very weird one.
The worldwide renowned parade to mark the popular Irish festival seems to have been cancelled everywhere.
From Ireland itself to other places that hold world famous public parades like London and New York.
The public gathering ban because of the current Coronavirus outbreak appears to have wiped it out across the board this year unfortunately.
Popular Irish boxer Michael Conlan came up with an idea that seemed to get quite a bit of traction on Twitter at least:

Professional boxers don’t get weekly or monthly pay packets like most folks.

Conlan usually fights around this time every year in New York since the start of his pro debut a few years back but unfortunately not the case this year.
