Side note: Do you also think this would have an effect on an individual level? Services such as in-house painting, furniture moving, plumbing work, food delivery etc from outside sources, the fear of contracting a virus could lead more people to take a more Do It Yourself approach and what impact would this have on home delivered services?

Very interesting question, I think for nations that really on such services, maybe it could have an impact. But at least here in my country, we are used to DIY so I doubt that it will have any influence whatsoever.

Food service though is different, it has taken off during this pandemic as they are allowed to bring food and other essentials to help people that are in a lockdown. And as far as the economy goes, we have ease the lockdown here, I'm seeing some stores opening, support systems are already there, so probably we can still thrive during this pandemic and we may see some movements that will help the economy stir at bit and see how it will go post pandemic.

The way of life is quite different after this pandemic. How hotels and restaurants will do their business after this lockdown is bit strict, like accommodating about 50% of the usual customers in restaurants and max of 2 persons occupancy in hotel rooms. I've seen such news recently. But at least we are slowly recovering from this situation.
