Hotels occupancy rates will be adversely impacted as a result of less business travel

'brick and mortar' stores will continue to 'shutter' stores as people continue to shift to online buying

hotels, rental car agencies, movie theaters, taxies, Uber, mass transit, etc. will continue to sanitize, as a routine cost of doing business

Conferences and conventions will be scaled back...which will have an adverse impact on revenue for any number of 'host cities'...

virtual learning will be fully accepted as academically equal to a 'brick and mortar' educational experience

anticipate that various 'use' taxes will increase as local and state governments try to recover lost revenue and increased expenses (impacting hotels, restaurants, etc.)

Use taxes are a flat tax. Pushes countries to become - 3rd world. Beware!
