Circuses will be foregone and survival will continue by the population, as long as they realize that it is needed for survival. — god must be atheist
The moment the word gets out that the rich get access to more entertainment than they, all hell will break lose. — god must be atheist
"Let them eat cake" will become "let them watch football" when "they" (the poor saps) are completely fed up by ceaselessly watching Little Rascals and Brady Bunch reruns in their free time. There will be no football to watch; revolution will break out. — god must be atheist
What I wrote in the previous post is pure psychology. In economic reality, the circus will come back to town the moment it gets a chance. Circuses, much like the movie industry and sports, are a particularly apt instrument to channel cash from the pockets of the everyday working stiff to the pockets of the rich and famous. — god must be atheist
Another circus act is trading illicit circus drugs and dancing girls. I have been out of that entertainment venue for too long to have any real knowledge of its operative and functioning diversity and dispensity. But I am now curious how they work under the circumstances.
In other words, (for the meeker in spirit) : do hooking and selling street drugs still continue under the new rules? — god must be atheist
There will be circuses only some appreciate, New forms of art — Gregory

Shaking hands can become something rude or an issue you don't do with strangers. And your personal distance kept is longer. — ssu

I'm not suggesting anything here and likely diseases won't go away. What I'm just saying that precautions can have some effect on our manners, which I think has also negative consequences.. Are you suggesting the current quickness to shut everything down will go away? — ZhouBoTong
What on earth makes you think they'll be closed down indefinitely? — IvoryBlackBishop
So we don't need to wait until there's a vaccine before things can go back to normal, just until we get over the hump of the curve. Once the number of new cases starts going down (even if just because there are fewer people who haven't gotten sick yet left), we don't have to worry about slowing its increase anymore, and can go back to normal knowing that the medical system won't be overwhelmed by those who depend on it. — Pfhorrest
