Regarding gyms, they make most of their money on people who never actually show up. Although some people may cancel their membership now there will always be new suckers next New Years. I don't see much an effect long term.
Yeah could be, at a minimum I think people cancel and no more than usual sign up for a net negative. But I think there's a chance it's big net cancel

This might stick, and will be deflationary and painful to many minimum wage workers:

So what if he screamed MASSIVE in all caps, that doesn’t make him any more authoritative, data-driven, or less biased (see his Twitter handle).

Individually wrapped bakery items, challos, danishes etc.
Besides for not having to grab the one at the back in the hope that no one has manhandled it, the stuff actually stays remarkably fresher

In general it's not a good idea to avoid all germs etc. It's an important component of building and maintaining a strong immune system.

Actually feel kind of guilty enjoying a 9:00 yard shachris on shabbos with trees and birds chirping rather than a somewhat overcrowded Lakewood beis medrash. Same goes for learning with a chavrusah outdoors in a wooded bungalow colony like setting without having to make myself heard over the loud fellows sitting behind me.

Kind of feels like enjoying chutz la’aretz and all that golus has to offer, without acknowledging that it’s all due to the tragic fact that we were exiled from the beis hamikdash and the land we belong in. OTOH perhaps we are meant to find some enjoyment despite the predicament?

That describes like maybe 20 percent of Lakewood. You need to get out more.

You mean 20% is  overcrowded, or people who have access to trees? 😀
Just speaking about my personal experience. My area is youngish and growing ka”h so that reflects in the availability of space in shul.Do 80% of Lakewood shuls really have room for all of the kids to sit next to their fathers?

Will there be a large decrease in demand for barber? Now that so many people bought their own machines and realized the haircuts are not rocket science, especially the classic frum haircuts. I find  going to the barber really inconvenient, between wait times (even with appointments) and itchy hairy head after. Add in the fact that costs are up to $20+ after tip, and I’m left scratching my head as to why this has gone on for so long.........
Not everyone can give a nice looking haircut. I think the appointment thing should be continued in all barber shops! Saves lots of people time, money, and headaches.

Do you think there will be many options for online (Jewish elementary) school after this is over?
I'm not who you think I am.
