Some number of people will have adapted to online shopping and may continue, rather than go back to physical stores. Some favorite places will close forever, but others will take their place.

The guy who does my wife's hair had been talking about retiring for a couple of years, and his business has been slowing anyway, so we're guessing he won't re-open.

We had typically gone out for dinner 2-3 times each week, but I'm finding that I don't miss it as much as I had expected. Who knows if we'll start going out as often again.
It is weird how that works, I'm eating fruits and veggies at a rate unknown before. I still try to support our local restaurants as best as I can.
