I went to Wembley on the 1st March and by then people were talking about the virus, cases were increasing in this country and I know it was on my mind but I still went as at that time I considered the risks small.
Go forward to the 11th March and the situation was noticeably more serious. People who had a choice were starting to avoid crowded places, alter their behaviour and becoming more cautious. The majority weren't waiting for the buffoon in charge to tell them what to do, they'd seen the virus devestating Europe and now it was here.The man who died was 70 years old I believe, so at a higher risk and he certainly had a choice to attend the game or not. I'm not sure if there was absolute proof he caught the virus at the game but by attending he would have increased his risk.
Where danger to health is involved people have to evaluate the risks to themselves and make their choices. Climbing mountains is dangerous so I choose not to do it. If however I did and fell injuring myself I wouldn't blame the government for not banning mountain climbing.
I'm sorry the man died but for his family to blame the government is a bit rich. Yes the government should have acted more quickly on a lot of things with hindsight, but people who knew the risks, had a choice but went ahead anyway knowing those risks, have nobody to blame but themselves.
