Perhaps, and then? 
Let me make it more easy, give the specialists more time to find a cure.
Was there ever a cure for the flu? (Any form.)

Its inevitable that it will spread and going ahead with large gatherings and world travel ensures that will happen way faster.

No arguments here, you're right.

The danger then is health services get over whelmed (they may do anyway) and far more people will die.

Yes, people WiLL die, but, as I've learned: Life is a sexual transmitted disease with a guaranteed deadly outcome.

So sensible precautions by scrapping non essential gatherings and travel makes sense.

No, it does not. People WILL get exposed eventually. 

Its also questionable if these sorts of shows are worth the carbon footprint they generate. Isn't most of it just the same people meeting up to shake hanks and have a drink and a chat.
Product info and news can be released easier online.
Time the world shaped up and moved away from encouraging people to fly all over the place.

I totally agree here!

This looks to be the kick start for remote working.

I totally DISAGREE here. 

We are humans, and we need to interact / see / feel / smell each other.
