They needed an "extensive internal risk assessment" ?
Why did the risk assessment need to be extensive ? It's pretty simple to comprehend : go to place packed with plenty of people in the middle of world-wide pandemic and your people might get sick. Do you want to risk that ? Yes / No (check as appropriate).
What other factor was extensively examined ? The amount of money they wouldn't make vs the costs of being there ? Doesn't that make their declaration a bit hypocritical (as in : we found that we wouldn't make enough money to justify risking the health of our employees) ?
