Broadway will shut down for four to six weeks beginning tonight, due to the coronavirus outbreak, several sources told The Post. In what is the worst crisis the industry has faced since the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, several shows will not be able to recover. The Minutes, a new play by Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts that was to open Sunday night, is likely to close and never return.
Martin McDonaghs acclaimed Hangmen is also unlikely to open this season, though it could come back in the fall. Sing Street, a new musical currently in rehearsals, will try to open in the fall, propped up by money from Barbara Broccoli, the producer of the James Bond movies. The Phantom of the Opera, Broadways longest-running show that draws heavily on foreign tourists, may well close down for good, sources said.

I wonder if “pandemic” is a variation of “pandemonium”. If so, a lot of this chaos makes sense.
History and Etymology for pandemonium: PAN- + Late Latin daemonium “evil spirit,” borrowed from Greek daimónion “evil spirit,” (with -ium probably to be read as Latin -ium or Greek -ion, suffixes of place) more at DEMON
pandemonium, residence of all demons/devils, hell
pandemonium, a ‘hellish’ chaos, notably terrible noise and disorder
