where did I say anything about family members etc not being important?

was just replying to Jims point about "If a player becomes seriously ill"

Across April as a whole, there was c5 deaths per 100,000 amongst males aged 20-24, and about 9 per 100,000 among makes aged 24-29. And that population will in general be much less fit, and have a higher prevalence of other health conditions, than professional footballers.

The risks of death or serious illness among healthy young people are really tiny. I think a lot of people haven't got their heads around this *at all*.
