So has anyone's else's plans for this year been totally flipped upside down by this?

Yes.
I was originally planning some travel plans (saving up for it, which while difficult, would've been manageable). Buddy of mine was also going to come down from Canada, too. Everything kinda went south because of this.
I'm not mad or anything, given it's important to stay safe. Plus, I'm glad I can be there with my family right now, given everything. Really the only thing I'm bummed about is I really wanted to see a buddy of mine. I haven't seen him in person since my April/May 2016 trip to Canada, but not much you can do. At least we can talk online and stuff, if nothing else.

Just last year I started attending anime conventions and instantly fell in love. I had found events I truly enjoyed and was excited for another wave of them this year and every year after.
Then this virus comes along and cons are dropping like flies. I can't even imagine when the next time will be that people can even put on a convention. It's not like this virus or social distancing is just gonna go away in a few weeks. Will we have to wait until a vaccine is made before large gatherings can truly flourish again?

Freelance technician here. My work year goes from tick over to full throttle for summer and it's usually marked by Cheltenham festival. Finally did some networking late last year because I want to get into audio and it was all happening this year. Not only do the people who I was going to work with now not know when or indeed if this year they'll be back at work, no horse racing/motor sport/footy/rugby/cricket has fucked me over completely, and because like a dick, I lovingly craft my year to give me a winter mostly at home, I don't think I'll be accepted for any government handouts aside from UC. What a difference a few weeks make. it's fucking unreal. That said, I can't feel too hard done to, some of the folks I work with are in the same boat but with young kids and a partner hit the same way. I feel for all off you in this situation. the uncertainty for me is unsettling, it must be straight up terrifying for some.
Not really. We were supposed to go camping later this summer but other than that we had nothing special scheduled. This whole fucked up situation might even allow us to clear most of or debts.
After a breakup last year, I had planned to use this year to travel a lot, starting with going to Denmark next week followed by Kiev and Croatia later this year and some weekends in bigger cities in between.
For most of them I had planned to travel alone,so I get to learn to be more independent in doing what I like instead of always relying on friends or my partner, but this situation right here was not what I had in mind.

nothing major. i have a few concerts book but they'll just get reschedule or refunded. i was planning to go on holiday this year but that's out the window.
All of the summer concerts are up in the air, travel plans are shot or on hold, school is probably on hold, NYCC will almost 100% be canceled/postponed, but my work is still going strong so I am fortunate for that.
It's going to be a lousy next six months or so.

Went to North Florida to work for the winter season so that I can stabilize and head back to NC to finish schooling in May or June and get my life a bit more together. Lost my job because of COVID and my home partially because of it, too. Looks like I'm stuck here probably through the year, unfortunately.
I wanted to do a motorcycle tour through Schottland im Sommer.... with the current projection of the UK corona situation I rather look for another target. Maybe Croatia

Yeah, there was a lot. So many Jays games. You know how hyped I was for the Astros coming to town? The scenes would've been unbelievable. Not to mention Raptor/Leafs playoff games. Nas was gonna be town in the summer and I was looking forward to that. NJPW at MSG.
And just being able to fully enjoy enjoy the spring/summer and the weather. We've already been cooped up inside all winter and now it's prolonged indefinitely.
After a while it 100% takes a toll mentally. And that's not even anything to do with the actual virus and all that entails. In fact, it's a complete minute proposition in comparison.
It's unprecedented levels of fucked and for the first time in my lifetime that I can remember, it's something we're all in together globally without exception.

I didn't realize it was a contest dude. Let people wallow in their own private misery. This thread is for venting but there's no entry qualifications. One man's tragedy is another man's comedy and vice versa.
I feel you OP. Last 7 years of my life have been stagnant but I was finally making moves. Was supposed to start a new position at work finally that I was excited for and then plan a wedding and both are on hold indefinitely. The timing on this thing was so impeccable.
At least both your options practically guarantee you'll be burned in sacrifice to an ancient evil God in a Wicker Man of some kind.
Potential job that would've doubled my pay is now on an indefinite hold after they started talking to me right before this. Potential promo at current job prob delayed even more as money gets tight.
Planned on moving to a more affordable place this year. Can't go look at apartments anytime soon.
Cousin was looking at visiting or vice versa. That's out now for plenty of reasons.

Holy moly, yeah. What a cruel and horrible response. Someone who has lost a loved one could flip that post right around on them in the same way, but I sure hope no one does. This isn't a contest.
And you have a right to be! Making a space like this to mourn what could have been is awesome and an important part of processing this all, together. Everyone's in the same boat. The least we can do is support one another. Loss is loss, no matter what kind.
EDIT: The posts responding with humor I totally get though. At least saying "Nope, you're the only one" sarcastically could give OP a chuckle and help them see that they're not alone.
I was planning on going on an exchange program overseas this upcoming summer/fall, but that's looking unlikely considering the pandemic might last into the summer and all traveling being off-limits. I'm been itching to travel for a while too, considering it's been years since I've been in another country.
For a second I thought I wrote this and forgot. These are the exact 3 things I had planned for this year. In a way it's nice not having the pressure to accomplish huge goals, but yeah having the whole year suddenly upended is a shock.
Had plans to get a new job, move out of San Francisco, and move in with my boyfriend who is three time zones away. All hiring is frozen, so I'm not moving, so I have no idea when I'll get to see my bf outside of a facetime call for the foreseeable future. :/
Let's see what happens. Scandinavia is also on the list Of alternative destinations.
I had to cancel visiting my dad for his 70th birthday and to shorten my own celebrations, as well as stop house hunting for now (since I both don't want to travel around and I don't want to deal with a bunch of businesses to get the move sorted). Missed one concert and will probably miss another. Suck, but for now I'm just accepting it.
I had health issues some years back and it was kind of the same then, only this time I'm trying to not GET health issues. Better to just stay put and hope everything eventually gets back to normal.

Concert tickets for Propagandhi in May, moving in June, the busy summer work season. I imagine all this is going to at the least change, probably get all fucked up though.
Talk about it dude, everybody else has.
That's the point of this thread, to talk about it because people are interested as everybody goes through different stuff.
Pretty sure everyone's plans changed, even for hermits like me.
I had like 10 concerts planned in the last two weeks and they all got canceled or postponed. I was so excited to see the Strokes.

Chances are my relationship is going to end due to the coronavirus so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(both of us are completely fine health-wise; she might just have to stay in her home country since she can't come to the US now and it's unlikely she'll find a new job here in due time in this chaos)

I'm getting married in October. Already had deposits in on venue and caterer, so guess I'm just hoping gatherings of more than 10 aren't homicidal negligence by that time.
