What would the Cheltenham attendees be doing, and where, if they weren't at the meeting ? Would they then be more or less at risk ?
Trackside is one thing, in the tents, stands, restaurants, surrounding bars and towns is another. Think of all the money changing hands. Many affected countries have banned outdoor events of more than a few hundred. As you say, time will tell.
