Whatever industries were dying will die out.

Real estate will not die. It may take a hit, but people will always need a place to live. What I think will happen is we'll see more people working from home. More companies being OK with that and as a result less people stretching themselves to live downtown. We'll see more appeal in the suburbs and rural areas. Folk not gonna want to be on top of each other.

AirBNB short term they'll take a hit but not sure about long term. If there are less hotels then there will be a need for AirBnB. But also if there is less demand for acommodation, that will affect everyone.

Airlines will get bailed out and people will fly. Don't see an issue there. Cruises? Not a chance.

Shopping malls will either have to adapt and offer more than just shopping or they will die. We see the newer models offering housing, shopping, restaurants, entertainment, etc.

Won't be seeing a lot of these small, trendy gyms that popped up. Personal trainers, lifestyle services, etc will be gone. People won't have the money for that shyt.

Think more people will stay home so businesses that have a solid online presence should eat.

Sneaker market, art market, etc a lot of people are going to go under.

A lot of startups are in danger.

Anything that involves groups of people or close quarters with others, or allows the virus to spread. Done. Who's gonna wanna go bowling? Who's gonna wanna do spin classes? Clubs, theaters, etc...tough times ahead.

A lot of brokers and real estate agents are going to go under as well. Real estate firms, etc. People aren't going to be buying like what you see on these shows. Buying 30M house sight unseen.

The good thing is new businesses will start and some will re-imagine themselves and succeed.

i also think some gyms will take a hit the longer this goes on, people will start working out at home, etc.

and whose going to want to use equipment that someone else touched knowing what we know now how covid can stay on surfaces

Folks who had mad properties on AirBnB but were already renting them from someone else are gonna get it bad since they can’t make them payments. My boy in Qatar does it but he’s at least got a nice nest egg after working overseas for Halliburton and Raytheon for damn near 20 years tho

Brick and Mortar Stores will certainly go under as they were already dying before the pandemic, this will just hasten their demise.

Entertainment/Service-Based Industries won't be coming back for a while....maybe by Easter 2021, everyone will need time to recover. Online and automated services will be fine.

Y'all underestimate how dumb america is. Soon as shyt gets running again majority of people gonna go back to what they were doing. The sentiment I get online and with people is they can't wait to start socializing and partying again. People are gonna go even harder after being stuck in the house so long.

As soon as nikkas get the greenlight, its a wrap:wow:

I think food delivery will be a flop...

I personally deleted all them apps too expensive, too many errors, takes too long, and the risk of a driver stealing or digging in your food.
I know here locally the restaurants we refining curbside pick-up. I think people will be more willing/programmed to pick stuff and not deal with a service.
