Post COVID-19 - What Do You Predict You Will Miss The Most?

They never tell you what you need to know.
One day, you'll be going to a college or professional sports game, although I'm not sure anyone can guarantee that's happening this year. One day soon you'll be able to dine in a restaurant, one day you'll be able to get a lapdance again.... but things are gonna change, and some things aren't coming back, and if they do they will be very different. What do you think will change or disappear that you'll miss?

But I agree with the guy up ahead said that since we're social creatures, I doubt that it'll really change things permanently. My thought is it will take longer than we thought, but packed concerts, sporting events, bars, AND strip clubs will be back. What won't change is social distancing and temperature checking at doctors and dentist offices.
It seems there’s a greater push for things online. That’s fantastic for things like telemedicine. Not so good for things like clothes shopping. (I like visually seeing how well an outfit actually looks on me) Hopefully that will be something that returns.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think this reversal is permanent. Airlines need 75% capacity to break even on most flights and movie theaters and restaurants need to be full on weekends to compensate for slower midweek periods.
Oh, and don't expect masks to remain a big thing either. Around here I saw more masks to weeks ago then I'm seeing today, even though there are far more people out now. I think people get tired of that very quickly.
Strip clubs too, of course, but the state of strip clubs in SF has been so atrocious anyway, I had significantly shifted to arrangements already. Still, SCing has always been at least part an opportunity to get out with the guys, and will badly miss that aspect regardless
In the timeline of history, the span of years from creation of the United States to #1 world power was and is unprecedented. We were founded by people who didn;t follow the rules of Government and didn't like being told what to do. Whether you believe this to be good, bad or otherwise, doesn;t change the fact that not following the rules is an inbred trait here. Its why we have the high rates of incarceration and poverty that we do, because the hidden secret is that you can do as you please, but you pay a price for failure and reap a reward for success. Other countries will be able to lock down people again, but we won't.
Golf courses opened in Mass. last week, one week after the Governor said he wouldn't even consider it until 5/18. Two courses said fine, we're openin 5/08 and he caved 32 hours later. Blue collar working people usually have dangerous jobs and are one paycheck from poverty, so t he Government and the liberal media trying to frighten them is simple making them more likely to say fuck you and go against what the Government says. I reopen Friday to meet people in my office. Corts are closed, so I can't go, but I am meeting people in person and all video/audio hearings from then on will be my client and I and the same room. All done with this.
I think strip clubs will return but it will be awkward for a bit. I do genuinely worry that a lot of the more full contact clubs will not be so for a bit. I think the whole quasi ok quasi not ok rule about contact within clubs has been an issue for a while. So it is unknown what will change.
I am actually hopeful for a post COVID world since I think people will pay more attention to the sciences. I also hope it teaches people to be more diligent with their finances.
