@Ooyah yeah I agreed with you that if the virus spreads it will lead to a larger impact on the economy. I agree with you that we need to protect those that are high risk like the elderly. It's a tough situation for sure and there really isn't a correct answer here, it sucks. All I was trying to get at is to say that this won't wreck the economy is an incorrect statement. Do we have an answer for this to not have a large impact on the economy and keep people safe? Unfortunately the answer is no. Is it wise to take a hit now on revenue? Probably. The issue I have specifically with the college world series is why not indefinitely postpone and reassess the issue in a month or 2 instead of just canceling the whole thing? Again I'm understanding the seriousness of the situation but simply closing everything down may not be a viable option. I'm just stressed right now as half my family income comes from the service industry as my wife is a bartender. How will I pay for my mortgage if no one is going out? Again I'm not saying you are wrong
@Ooyah look I understand that controlling the virus is priority but to say this won't wreck the economy is foolish. My city is losing 70 million in revenue for the college world series being cancelled alone. Sure if your business is large enough it will rebound from the lost revenue fine but there are a ton of smaller businesses around here that rely on the bump in revenue every year to make ends meet for their entire year. It may sound like a no brainier to cancel all events and have everyone stay home for the foreseeable future but unfortunately the situation isn't that simple. Again I understand that people's lives are more important than money. I understand that if the virus spreads further it will have a larger impact on the economy as a whole but realize people will lose their business over this.
