Wow, no offense intended, but where you live... sure seems like it sucks.

Hang in there, I suppose.  It's certainly not like that everywhere.
Doesn't help when stuff like this is out there for all to read.

I think the economic rebound will be orders of magnitude higher than any rebound we've ever seen.  I don't think it will rebound quite to where we were.  Particular areas of the economy will not rebound right away.  Movies, for example.  Even with a full green light, there's a large portion of the population that isn't going to go.

The entertainment sector in general-- movies, travel (especially air travel),  cruise ships, water parks, theme parks.  Even if/when some of those open up, as you suggest, huge portions of the population still won't go.

I was on an airplane as the airlines began their new cleaning procedures.  If they keep them, I'll fly sooner than later.    Cleanest plane I've ever been on...

Movie theaters... well, might be a long time.

I just booked a cruise today, to replace the one that China cancelled on me. This one will go from Lisbon to Miami, in November 2021.

100 percent refundable, of course.

That Royal Caribbean stock I bought in March at $23 is now up to almost $50. It's high was $135, and I think it will get there over the next couple of years.

Yup,gonna be a while before I go back to the movies.  Cruise ships weren't high on my list anyway, but yeah, don't see doing that any time soon either.  And I find water parks and theme parks to be thoroughly disgusting even in the best of circumstances, so I won't be frequenting them, either.

Anyone have any interest in going to a buffet, or using the salad bars in stores and restaurants? Not me.

I don't think I'll ever touch one again, but I was never a buffet guy anyway, unless it was high-end, with people actually serving.

Whoa brother.  I wish I could say the same.

We have loads of local churches that have a lot of influence.  I mean...A LOT.  Amish churches, Mennonite churches, a huge baptist church, and a huge non-denominational church have been on the anti-science/anti-vaccine thing for years.  Nearly all of our local politicians attend the aforementioned baptist church.  If you're wondering if you heard that right, yes, the churches regularly preach against vaccines.

I would say 30+% of my neck of the woods doesn't have any faith in science/experts/government/media.  "Fake news", as it were.

But if Karen posts a shady youtube video on Facebooks, they are all in...
Not to the extent of believing conspiracy theories- but it is hard to find fault with them for not trusting “experts, government, media, etc..”

you can rarely get a consistent answer from any of them.

I wonder if drive-in theaters will make a comeback?  I wonder if black friday will look the same.  Will people crowd each other for deals like they have in the past?   The indoor kids fun plexus'... not sure I'd go back to them.  How long before people return to gym's at the levels of 2019?

I would not want to be in the commercial space business either..

There's your next collapse, but it won't be the big boys. They will repurpose their holdings. It's the guy who owns the one-story office-warehouse types that is gonna hurt.

The guys who own the spaces we rent from are already shitting bricks, because they see we operating without seeing each other in-person. They probably call to take our "temperature" about once per week, or so.

Yes, we're actually looking for some space for my wife right now, for her to set up her own physical therapy practice.  More space is already coming available, but we're gonna wait it out and watch the rents tumble.  Bad for those business owners, but good for us.

Her dad was actually thinking about helping stake us to just buy a commercial space and then rent out the portions we don't need, but that part of the plan will have to wait for some market stabiization.  Getting caught with a property and no tenants is extremely bad news for now.
