The title of the OP makes it sound like all events and countdown venues have been canceled. However, when you read the article its only the TAT's sponsored events at Central World and in Chiang Mai.  The bigger question is are the countdown events at Icon Siam and the outer areas canceled or not.

One night's enjoyment for the few that could damage a nation!

Cancel them all NOW and be done with it.  There is more than enough evidence that unnecessary events like these are capable of becoming super spreading events.
