    And I think that it should be like this, even if there were people that objected to it. In these bad times, anything that can give some kind of pleasure and feeling of aliveness to people without affecting the NHSs should be promoted, not stopped. And according to the Health Commitees, the empty stages of one rally or an empty basketball court do not affect any NHS.

    Lets not waste too much time comparing a sport that happens in a closed, controllable stadium with a WRc event.

    How many people are involved in running a football or basketball game? A few hundred?

    There would be quite a few thousand involved in the running a WRC event.
    - on public roads
    - using police
    - using ambulances
    - using medical helicopter
    - using marshals
    - bringing people from all over the world

    etc etc

    You can't compare the scale of one to another.....

    You’ve just said let’s not waste time comparing, only to go on and compare. How does that work??

    But that’s the point exactly... just how pushed are the emergency services and hospitals in that area and would even one emergency repose be a piss take at the moment?
    I think it would.
