I thought that and then I read a timeline.
He was tested more than once after his return and tested negative. With an obviously compromised immune system due to age It seems he developed pneumonia first, then subsequently after medical treatment for that developed COVID. Almost definitely didn’t get COVID on his trip. Did it cause his pneumonia? Unknown, but likely IMO. Is he a cunt for selling out and jetting off? Well yeah, but he did nothing illegal, so we live in a time when vast swathes of people are essentially calling for more authoritarian and prohibitive governance that bans all international travel for an unknown and un-agreed time period.
Oh, and he was one fucking hundred years old.

I am surprised there is not a matrix between obligation of travel, risk and essential services.
- Before I worked in dredging. This can wait, back of the waiting room.
- Now I repair undersea internet cables - the kind that carries the internet and by extension essential services... 1st in lime methinks.
As an example, since the start of COVID, one specific cable between the UK/Ireland has had an anchor dropped on it 3 times.
(It is clearly on maps, and the damaged part is in a "No go, so sailing, no anchor" clearly marked on all maps.)
This cable down, then it is 1/4th of the internet capacity down in the south of the UK.
Luckily, other cables have a bit of spare capacity, so it gets spread out.
Nonetheless, if two such cables got anchored at the same time, then forget having Youtube, Netflix, Zoom or similar streaming stuff.
All the bandwidth will be taken by the NHS, Police, Hospitals etc.

I should have explained further.
The warring tech department were absolutely frozen and self-defeating. Just running in circles unless they were the individuals attempting 'Machiavellian' pushes to lead. So much of it seemed to be the solutions were there but without a key individual to compartmentalise they all tried to fix their specialisation.

Though I'm of the dilbert opinion that whenever somebody from marketing gets involved you can see the cracks forming in the building walls.
It's more when non-experts get to have their opinion about something they don't fully understand of have had little experience of. Their knowledge is often inversely proportional to the stridency of their view, so you spend a lot of meeting time rubbing your temples and thinking how can you best explain the flaws in their reasoning in a way that won't make them out to be be the dropkick that they actually are and generally wishing you'd never invited them, as you know if you had competent developer or an interface designer it would be a 30 second conversation and then you'd move on
