Bordellos. And I wonder about movie theaters, will they come back after a
vaccine is found or will people have gotten so used to watching movies at
home on very high quality TVs they will have gotten out of the habit of
going out to see a movie?

It's possable but I doubt it, most looters or rioters or peaceful
protestors or human beings in general have never even heard of "antifa" and
couldn't spell it much less be a member of it; presumably it's an acronym
but I have no idea what it stands for, but I'll bet a Qanon member would
know.

Probably not, most wood ignites at 572F but in air diamonds needs 1652F to
burn, and they're probably in a fireproof safe.
