I don’t think there’s any industry that “won’t return.” But likely to contract are:

Luxury service industry

Tourism, auxiliary services (think housekeeping, dog sitting, baby sitting, tutoring)

Freelance-based (arts, writing)

Nonprofit
If anything this will get stronger

I live in the city, so most of this will survive, but Retail is definitely going to take a hit as well as real-estate. Most people are going to start arguing that they rather work from home, so there's going to be less of a demand for empty office spaces. As for retail, it was already happening. I don't think everything will die, but we'll see a lot more shopping centers/pop-up shops.

big box clothing retailers were already dying, but this will kill off a few. GAP, Old Navy,etc. were already dying so this might be the final straw

you'll see more "pop up" type shops for clothes, versus actual stores in malls and shyt. online sales will run the game from here on out

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.

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.

Black Friday, sure. Memorial Day, lol. I think some restrictions will be lifted, as testing becomes easier, but I doubt they're going to let more than 50 people into bars or anything.
