Here's a list of some of the major events Cancelled or Postponed:
  • SWSX (South by Southwest)
  • Coachella Music and Arts Festival / Stagecoach (moved to October)
  • E3 2020 (Though major names in the Vidya industry are still planning on having live streams or directs to announce shit)
  • NBA 2020 league
  • New York International Auto Show (moved to August)
  • NCAA Basketball (no public audience)

Also fuck you Wall Street Journal for locking the list behind a paywall. Its not like this is a health crisis or anything.

EDIT: the MLB is in its pre-season but I wonder how long until the season is cancelled?

Can’t you just archive today/way back machine pay walled WSJ articles?

edit: yes you can

If the UK is exempt, couldn't people just fly there and then catch another plane to the continent, or take the channel ferry?

Customs is pretty good at stopping people from other countries but not perfect at it. Restricting to UK passports might help. But Gibraltar is part of the UK and is located up Spain’s ass.

The Arnold Classic in Ohio was another big one. That was closed off to the general public.

I have a feeling Wrestlemania will be announced tomorrow once the city of Tampa convenes for their scheduled meeting.

Seems pretty pointless with the UK-exemption considering how far spread it is there already and how far it's spread in the US. E: Feels more like a political move than a real move handling this situation.

It’s what the CDC was asking for yesterday. This is a Breitbart Article from this morning. The Euro travel ban apparently comes from the highest levels of the CDC. Trump’s justfollowing their recommendations. Something about Europe has them spooked. I think it’s the way Itlay totally lost containment, and Mastricht prevents any other nation from stopping it on the continent.

CDC Director on Coronavirus: 'Real Threat' to U.S. Is Travel from Europe

Dr. Robert Redfield says the "real threat" to the United States today is travel from Europe, as no new travel bans have been announced.

I love that he said this is how it's always been. No hysteria. Based Grandpa Trump knows how this shit goes. So many people have the brain span of a fruit gnat. They just cancelled the fucking St. Patrick's Day parade here in Chicago over this nonsense. Our Governor in Illinois (who thinks he's the governor of Chicago, not the whole goddamn state) has outright said he doesn't believe what the federal government is saying about the coronavirus. It's full-on conspiracy theory nonsense because they want it to be a bigger deal than it really is. They want people to suffer because they hope they will blame Trump. Pisses me the fuck off. ~10 years ago, H1N1 was declared pandemic too, and how many people do you personally know who died from that? Jeez Lou-fucking-ise.
