21. In other words

(using the oft-overused but obviously true "MBA" term in this case) - they have to learn to be "nimble".

We saw over the past year where some restaurants (and even bars) figured out that they could "reopen" for "take-out"/delivery. That kept cooks cooking and some service staff around to package it up and give to the customer (either "in person" at the place or via delivery direct to the customer's residence).

I would disagree with the mall model at the moment. Many of them have been open but at reduced capacity, and I think there is still a subset of people who like to go go go no matter what and WANT to go to places like a mall (I am not one of them and can't remember the last time I was in one - well maybe in 2015 when I was looking for a mattress and went to one of the local anchor department stores in a mall not far from me that sold mattresses... and that way I could see them).

However I would agree that the mall model was already going through some major downturns even pre-pandemic, and some were "reinventing themselves" to stave off the inevitable.
