The coronavirus pandemic will likely have a long-lasting impact on a number of previously popular leisure activities. Absent the development of a vaccine, there’s a good chance that activities where people tend to sit in close proximity to one another will be decidedly less appealing. Indeed, this is why sporting events may be held in crowd-less stadiums and why comedy clubs — where patrons are packed tightly together — may not even open up until 2021.
Moviegoing is another activity that will likely be turned on its head because even people eager to return to a sense of normalcy are liable to have serious reservations about returning to packed theaters.
