So will you now be a terrible company if you host a summit/expo/large-gathering? If that is the trend it could really bite into some of the economies tied into cities used to hosting events.

If the coronavirus phenomenon shifts liability in the popular perception, there's no way you can afford the PR risk of hosting a major gathering.
