Cancel massive gatherings in Philadelphia before Covid-19 spreads

The Issue

Please let's demand cancellation of the Billie Eilish concert at Wells Fargo in Philadelphia this March 13!

New Jersey, the Delaware Valley, and Philadelphia suburbs have all reported cases of Coronavirus. Major universities are moving to on-line classes and numerous institutions are curtailing large events. Reliable media outlets have insisted that the best course of action is to preemptively avoid large gatherings before symptoms manifest in people. Minimizing contact with big groups and massive events is the most effective remedy against quick spread. Yascha Mounk, Professor at John Hopkins University and author of The People vs. Democracy writes for The Atlantic: Cancel Everything (https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-cancel-everything/607675/ The Mayor of Philadelphia, Jim Kenney, has urged to avoid big groups as well but has fallen short of imposing proper measures.

Why on earth is Wells Fargo moving ahead with a Billie Eilish concert that will reunite thousands and thousands of people under a nowhere-to-go situation? Is money really the only driving forth in our society? Parents, under pressure from kids and after spending hundreds of dollars on tickets, will feel compelled to take the blind fans. Please Billie, please Wells Fargo, please Mayor Kenney: cancel this concert before is too late!
