This is going to kill a lot of these kinds of venues. There will be more work at home, home deliveries, Amazons and streaming entertainment. The only thing that would bring back any resemblance of normality would be a vaccine and that may or may not happen. And there will be other pandemics.

You need to see that a shift to remote everything is coming and what can you to do with this new reality.

Anybody have any thoughts on where we might go with this?
I'm with you on this, things will never go to back to how they were.

The best hope we have of any normality until there is a vaccine is following Taiwans model, ie: you don't leave the house without hand sanatizer and wearing a mask, and when you come home have routine of sterilizing anything you came back with including shoes and clothes.

We will have to live like that for two years at least so get used to it.

Millions of new opportunities and professions will come from it, for us home based Web workers it surly should be boom times.
