You aren't stopping the consequences either way. It's too late for that. I've said that for a couple weeks now and it looks more true now than ever. This thing is going to dent the economy. It's just a matter of how much.
Even if you don't cancel events, people aren't going to want to go to games or movies or restaurants when this thing becomes really widespread. Or when a large group of people get sick themselves. That's no reason to panic and people do get too hysterical, but there's no way to stop this thing. It's just common sense. How do you stop a virus you have no treatment for and can be in your body for two weeks before showing symptoms? The only way is to keep people from interacting and spreading it around.
