My father is recently retired after 50+ years in the food business. His company reports so far they may lose half their bookings (primarily large scale catering) for the year if the trend continues. These aren’t small events—most of their stuff averages 500 people per event.
A buddy of mine that does engineering troubleshooting for cell towers reported that his company is banning travel as well.
A friend’s husband runs a tour company—upcoming tours are cancelled.
This stuff is going to hurt.

I agree; this has a cascading effect all the way up and down the economy.
Hey, at least gas is cheap!!

Talking points on CNBC do not declare a recession. There are many factors that contribute to an actual recession. GDP and unemployment are a few. It takes a couple months to declare and 1 month of global travel reduction due to a virus is not enough.

There isn't, at least not from rational people living their daily lives. Media hyped, profit-driven click bait causing mass cancellations of public gatherings out of an "Abundance of caution". Give me a break. Real reason? Fear of a predatory, opportunistic legal system. Heaven forbid someone catches the flu. Sign of times w social and mainstream media closing down the planet every flu season? Torts reform anyone?
Best part? Company paid Non-refundable Airline and hotel reservations for conventions now being used by those "daring, death defying" employees looking to enjoy a vacation.
