Air travel will take years to get back to normal levels.
A lot of people will continue to use video conferencing for business meetings, and google streetview to travel to other cities.

"google streetview to travel to other cities" Err, no.. My last trip was to New Zealand. Google Streetview isn't going to do justice to: 1) Auckland's WW I War Museum (spent an entire day there); 2) Auckland's Observation Tower (city and harbor views); 3) The Hobbiton set from LOTR (behind a security gate!); 4) the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves; 5) Te Puia Geothermal Park in Rotorua; 6) going on a tour of various sets inside the Weta Studio; nor 7) Te Papa Tongarewa Museum in Wellington, and the exhibits it has on the Maori tribe.

Seems like things are waking up a bit, but I have a feeling that something else will get released, hopefully not though. I want Pizza Hut back.

Michael Yo is a comedian and one of the first people to get coronavirus in New York.
He says that he may have gotten worse because he took ibuprofen.
He also says that his doctor may have saved his life by not putting him on a ventilator.
Apparently the extra oxygen from the ventilator makes the body react like the lungs are ok and slows the immune system from effectively fighting the infection in the lungs.
Very informative interview in the first 40 minutes.

You've hit on the primary problem with this coronavirus: there is no established method of treating it. We are in the trial-and-error phase and it seems to attack the body in a variety of ways. The strokes and blood clotting being two of the more dangerous effects.

Stay focused on the science.

Pizza Hut and most other restaurants have takeaway service.

Speaking of Florida, I wonder if meth dealers can qualify for EIDL or PPP loans? I mean, the ones that have runners, technically have "employees", right?

And something else that crossed my mind, with most strippers being independent contracts or self-employed, I wonder if they got unemployment when their clubs closed down? Self-employed people qualify under the new rules, so I guess they can?

Good questions on the strippers.

A club filed a lawsuit because their loan was denied due to the SBA's rule against sexually-oriented enterprises being eligible for loans. The club won round 1.
