But if it's lockdown , business shuts, council's will hardly get their rents, staff don't get paid , be pretty much close shop ,open shop six weeks later back to normal, govt lose a few quid from emergency fund .

What about staff who need to pay for things like food, heat, light, mortgage, cars? Are you f**king serious? It would be carnage!

Thousands coming back from Cheltenham isnt going to help this!

Stop and quarantine at entry points. The country can run smoothly as normal if it's contained at ports/airports. If they don't do that, we will have an Italy style lockdown in a week or two. Now that would be carnage!!

If they work at this then a full lockdown is not required. Singapore has not had a lockdown and has had cases since January.
This does not mean that individual businesses will not have huge problems, but the whole economy will not shut down.
There is every reason to close pubs, but every reason not to close food production, for instance.

The welfare payment will cover food and the mortgage can be sorted in time. Borrowing money for cars is unwise and this is why.

Anyone who goes to Cheltenham and comes back is a bollocks of the highest order. Much of this in Europe is a virus spread by the jet set.

Being surrounded by water should help surely, if we used stricter control of movement?

Different circumstances, as it was soldiers returning from war. But everyone knows the type of red faced Paddy, belly stuck out, wants to have his fun, likes to flash a few bob, and nothing will stop him from his divine right to have the craic at Cheltenham.

Dr Harries said cancelling big outdoor events like football matches would not necessarily be a decision supported by science.

"The virus will not survive very long outside," she said. "Many outdoor events, particularly, are relatively safe."

Being outside is less of a threat. It is the associated visit to the pub that is the problem.

Yes an unqualified mouthpiece, as opposed to yourself who's seems to be quite the authority on public health issues including but not limited to the cause of the Spanish flu.

There's something called commonsense and anyone who travels abroad for a ski holiday, takes a cruise, heads off to a sporting festival held over a number of days where large crowds will gather is being irresponsible. This is all non-essential travel and if people can't put up with that life of leisure for awhile, they are being a selfish bollocks.

Alternatively, they have saved all year for something to strike upon this kind of bad luck. No refund on cancellations is no alternative to some. You must acknowledge that.

It's bad luck, but compared to what could happen - a recession, rising unemployment and people losing jobs, not to mention untimely deaths, more pressure on a crumbling health service, it's a small price to pay to give up that trip on the horses.
