Post COVID laws: Strip Clubs most vulnerable

Primarily around managing recurring spread of this virus and similar ones.
As law makers mull over - business to business and industry to industry - Salons, Bars, Retail, Dentists, Gyms, amusement parks, movies, planes ... there will be 5 minutes given to strip clubs.
At that 5-minute moment - the DA or the public attorney turns out to be a bitch with a Nicole-type bitter past, the proposal would state - "For protecting the dancers and club employees and patrons, there must be no touching, a minimum of 6 ft distance maintained at all times and face masks worn at all times."
No law-maker would object and in it goes into the new set of rules and regulations.
After the first city passes this - an expected standard will be set across many states, if not all.
No senator/congressman wants to fight this - can be used against them during re-election.
And club owners, dancers, patrons will spend years fighting this - and mostly whining.
Prostitution (money for sex between consenting, healthy adults) has been kept illegal for decades on the weak and unsubstantiated basis that it promotes trafficking of minors (& drugs). Every responsible monger agrees that trafficking of minors is illegal and criminal and must have commensurate punishment. But what two consenting adults, of sane mind and body, do, is a fundamental right of freedom.
Hoping this post is also filed as a work of fiction !

1) knowing I had the antibodies (although it may not be foolproof)
2) there was treatment to effectively and fairly-quickly remedy the illness if infected
3) there was a vaccine
If I was sure they had a treatment as good as the one for pneumonia, it would make me more secure about venturing in strip clubs and getting intimate with any female.

Topless bars may survive but the non nude high mileage clubs are not coming back. I thought that organized crime could grease a few palms in many places and get the clubs back up but it seems like whoever is behind this entire thing is far more powerful than that. We've seen underground nightclubs shutdown in some cities recently. The powers that be are not taking bribes to look the other way which to me shows how deep this thing actually goes.
Is the rest of what you wrote what you're offering up to support your conclusion?
There may be some kind of new venue who knows.
Dave_Anderson, agree about CA strip clubs. Will be interesting to see whether SF clubs re-open and keep going
Phase 1 open: Gyms, Churches, Sporting events, Movies, Restaurants, Stores. (6 ft social distancing)
Phase 1 notable closures: Schools, Colleges, Visitation of Senior Living Centers, Bars (presume SCs also)
No mention of hair salons, amusement parks.
Phase 2 open: Phase 1 + Schools, Bars (with 6 ft social distancing and capacity limitations)
To remain closed: Visitation to Senior Care Centers
Phase 3: All open - with reasonable social distancing and appropriate PPE.
Local and State authorities have final say.

1st strip clubs could open doors not before June. With half of cities lighting up only by July.
I am expecting limits on physical contact this summer - with situation easing in Fall.
Just need to watch out for "Agenda-Driving prudes and bitches" in the government !
This crisis is so huge that petty agenda seekers could remain muted.
Gyms are kinda necessary but I don't think they should be phase 1 - you have dozens of people breathing heavy, sweating, touching exercise equipment, etc - and many people stay in there one hour or more which one would think would increase chances of infection
Churches are also a good thing to have open - but IMO that also should not be a phase-1 thing - having a large # of people confined to a space often for an hour or more with the a/c circulating potential pathogens - this would also apply to movie-theaters.
w.r.t. phase-1 sporting events I assume they would be w/o spectators.
I would think businesses that open would still struggle since I doubt the vast majority of people/consumers will go back to business as usual for now even if things are open.
