9/11 set the precedent. People will stop their behaviors en masse out of good old fear, once something gets or is perceived to be bad enough.
The chances of another orchestrated terror attack were infinitesimal and the odds that you would get caught up in it, even less, but people freaked out and didn't go anywhere spending their money for enough time to cause a pretty nasty recession.
So, when the cases of COVID-19 skyrocket because....well that's what viruses do when they have plenty of hosts to infect, wouldn't the same thing happen? Maybe more so because the odds of catching this are greater than getting highjacked while going a trip to LA.
