Need systematic approach to event cancellations.
First, realize this is heartbreaking stuff for organizers. Huge loss of money & time. Support them if they launch a digital version.
Second, we need executive orders at federal, state, local levels. Can't be discretionary.

Note that Emerald City Comic Con, for example, is waiting for government direction to cancel their conference. That should come from @GovInslee @MayorJenny.

In general, I feel sick at the thought of canceling someone's business. I know how hard these people worked on this.
One possibility: given that this is for public health, can we compensate them from the public purse in some way? Like "just compensation" in eminent domain.
