Personally, I think this is going to be a very subjective industry-by-industry move. In my profession this is perfect. However, it doesn't take much to realize the benefits not had by in person team work in other industries.
3  Economy / Economics / Casino Stocks - Las Vegas, A Petri Dish for the COVID-19 (Social Distancing?) on: April 11, 2020, 02:44:15 AM
Las Vegas, Macau, Atlantic City...

A literal playground for adults, all in close proximity who touch the same cards, playing chips, slot machine buttons. Inebriation often involved, and feeling sick? It's okay, there's always the excuse of having 'too much fun, and hittin the Colombian slopes last night', leading to sniffling the next day...

Not here to call it out. But here to point out first off, how amazing the velocity (turnover) of travelers in Vegas is. Think about that in terms of how many overlap with each other during 3-day stays. I wish there was a study of all point-of-contacts in common across the globe, I bet there's a large number of COVID-19 positives that didn't reside in Las Vegas, but had come in contact, and brought it back home with them.

So for these amazing establishments within the consolidated gaming industry, and it's few industry titans of ownership who are bleeding money at every minute their resorts are closed, not hosting events, not allowing hotel guests, and most of all.... not allowing people to give them money gambling.

My prediction? QE Infinity can't last forever, and the casino industry won't be bailed out. Las Vegas will not return to normal.

But old habits and addictions die hard. Gambling will always be around.

What's first... A casino bail out? Or online gaming legislation in which the Sands, MGMs, and Caesars of the world some how still come out on top?

Why else wouldn't these stocks be delisted or trading at zero right now?  Their land value is worth nothing in Las Vegas if you think Social Distancing (flying, being at casinos, going through McCarran Airport) is going to play a much longer role in consumer behaviour. A social change that lasts far beyond the 'shelter-in-place' and 'lockdowns' continue.
