Again - no one knew about the serious diagnosis until this evening. "Fair" doesn't come into it - of course it's fair for a family reeling from a cancer diagnosis to ask for decorum and privacy. But no one knew they were a family reeling from a cancer diagnosis. No one knew anything at all. Hence the tongue-in-cheek speculation.
