Disneyland and Disney World are closed. Movies from James Bond to Black Widow have been postponed. Big events such as SXSW, the E3 gaming show, the Geneva and Detroit auto shows and Mobile World Congress have all been called off. Coachella, the Cannes film fest and the Eurovision Song Contest have been hit. The NBA suspended its season, as have many more sports leagues. Formula One and Wimbledon are off too.

The latest major events to be affected: The in-person conferences for Defcon and Gamescom, as well as the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam. Annual summer events like the Iowa State Fair, Lollapalooza and the Taste of Chicago have also been scrapped this year.
