Professional Sports during coronavirus lockdown

[Tin Rocket]

Watching the build up to United v Arsenal on sunday and I noticed a couple of ambulances at Old Trafford,obviously providing medical cover for the match.
Is this the correct use of resources at this time?
Should professional sport be under lockdown as well?

Given that ambulances aren't the limiting factor in the healthcare system at the moment, and the fact that broadcasting professional sports will have a great mental health benefit to many, no - professional sports shouldn't be locked down. Besides, isn't it the case that most ambulance staff attending sporting events are of the St John's/non NHS variety?

They arent NHS ambulances. Nice try though.

Correct. And a vital source of income for them as well.

The be fair to the OP, this isn't the first time this weak argument has been trotted out.
