“I can’t think of a business that’s likely going to be hit as hard.”

Airlines. Bars and restaurants. Barbers. Taxis and buses. Gyms.

Airlines? Well, their business is down 95%, but movie theaters are down 100%. At some point, airlines will pick up as people need to get around the country for various personal and business reasons.

Bars and restaurants? Business is down but not out, but some are still open doing a takeout business. People have to eat, and home-cooking gets a little tiresome.

Barbers? Well, haircutting is a basic need. A lot of people don’t have at-home options.

Taxis and buses? It’s rough, but somewhat analogous to airlines. Business is way down but not 100%. There’s still a need among some people to get from point A to point B other than walking or their own car/bike/motorcycle.

Gyms? Yes, this one is the probably as bad or worse than movie theaters. It’s pure recreation. No one really needs it.
