Canceling events such as March Madness prevents large numbers of people getting infected at congregations then further spearing the virus elsewhere.
Think of it as a disease hub like the Atlanta airport is a hub for Delta airlines.
It’s social distancing to stop person to person spread. That protects those at high risk from getting infected by preventing the healthy from becoming contagious and infected those at high risk while still asymptomatic.
