The State of Ohio has banned mass gatherings. Accordingly, ACBL has cancelled the Spring Nationals in Columbus. I believe ACBL would have acted earlier, but it was awaiting a government order so it could invoke force majeure clauses to avoid liability to the convention sites.
My local bridge club also has closed until further notice. --Bob

Disneyland and Universal Studios are closing starting Saturday. I don't see why these parks but not the ones in Orlando.

My granddaughter Brittany is an administrative assistant for a German-owned company that makes pipes. She coordinates seminars and other meetings. Those have all been canceled. She was told to start working from home today. They're going to have her work on invoices. She's going to replace a temp who was doing that. I was worried about that.

Here's something that definitely fits the irony category:

A conference on coronavirus in New York was cancelled -- because of the threat of coronavirus.

The Masters, scheduled for April 9-12, has been postponed. No reschedule date has been set. The three PGA tournaments before that, including this week's Players Championship which finished its first round yesterday, have been cancelled.
The NASCAR race in Atlanta this weekend will go on but without any fans (usually draws 100,000 or so people).

Mount Everest is closed: Coronavirus fears reach world's tallest peak as climbing permits halted
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/wor ... 040350002/
Even the world's tallest peak was no match for the spread of the new coronavirus as Nepal’s government announced Friday it was suspending climbing permits for Mount Everest.
With China already halting its permit program earlier this week, the more than 29,000-foot mountain that sits between Nepal and Tibet is effectively shuttered for the popular spring climbing season.
Surendra Thapa, an official with Nepal’s Department of Tourism, said the decision to shut down the climbing season was a precautionary measure as countries around the world combat the spread of the new virus that causes COVID-19.
"While canceling a climb is never an outcome we want, this time, it's the responsible thing to do. A COVID-19 outbreak at base camp would be dangerous and potentially devastating," Adrian Ballinger, CEO of Alpenglow Expeditions, which leads Everest climbing trips, said in a statement.

NASCAR has had a change of heart. They have postponed the Atlanta race, and the Homestead race for next weekend.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 8:29 amThe NASCAR race in Atlanta this weekend will go on but without any fans (usually draws 100,000 or so people).
Silly question - I wonder how many of the cancellations (March Madness, etc.) came after the accountants and lawyers looked over the contracts and realized it was cheaper just to not have an event rather than play to empty arenas?
