Money, you hold it and further spread the virus.
Health, you reschedule it.

50/50. I just happened to stumble across that this morning. I don't see how they will be able to have crowds of people, the theme parks are closed, many concerts cancelled. Unless things improve, I really hope they do, but I don't see it at this point.

Marathons can be run however organizers decide. After all they do all the work.
