Meant to say the risk is smaller in our league

I know it's on a much bigger scale and the risk is smaller but 1 death is too much , the Liverpool echo stated that the Liverpool via athletico Madrid match can be directly related to 41 deaths in local hospitals, god knows what the impact of 4 days at Cheltenham Don’t know how they work it out but read a piece the other day which said Cheltenham was related to 39 deaths and the Liverpool match 41, the same number you’ve mentioned. Presumably the Liverpool match is higher due to the number of people in attendance who were over from Madrid which was a hotspot. The same person will be counted two, three or four times over in the figure they’ve plucked out for Cheltenham, which included huge numbers of Irish over for the week. The strange thing to me was that some things continued after the above two had concluded when the real seriousness emerged on the Thursday. Like our league and then a Rugby League game between Castleford and St Helens which took place on the Sunday with over 7,000 in the crowd.

A friend who works in China made a post about how serious this was on Facebook in early January, saying he wasn’t returning their as planned following his Christmas break. The information was available to see all the way through February that this was going to be fairly bad. Yet the government drip fed info to the public and arrogantly kept the borders open and the economy moving until it was too late. I think we let them off the hook saying the seriousness only became clear on the following Thursday. Plenty of people knew there would be a death toll from those events taking place, italy and Spain were already all over the news long before.

I was referring to the various sporting governing bodies rather than the government itself to be honest. They're no experts and are looking to guidelines and advice on what to do and what not, prior to the Thursday it was all a bit up in the air, after the Thursday it wasn't. So stretching things out over another weekend was strange.
