How on earth the Cheltenham races were allowed to take place this year, with Coronavirus rampant, is beyond belief
500,000 people mingling in close proximity, is simply asking for trouble

Should all football be stopped then?

What about the London Underground?

Other trains and buses?

All civil aviation flights (that use about 50% recycled air)?

What about shops and supermarkets?

Restaurants?

Schools, colleges and uni's?

Cheltenhams quality.

Better than a bunch of home counties hoo-rays & council tennant wannabees who frequent Ascot or Epsom.

Is there a virus,then?

The horsey people think they are above everyone else anyway. Plus it makes or helps to raise £300m for all businesses involved in it, that’s a big reason why it’s on.

Youre right about the money made, but all the money in the world is of no use if youre dead.
I feel if this event was taking place in May, it would have been banned as all major gatherings will be banned by then
