Not commercial real estate. Probably not public transportation. If someone could get self sanitizing door handles to catch on, that would be great.

ButcherBox style businesses may get a lot of traction.

Local business variant of Shopify+Stripe to put DoorDash, UberEats, ChowNow and the like out of business. Possibly a co-op ownership model.

Autonomous delivery services will happen faster and be well received.

Thoughts, nothing more.

We've actually been making brass (or more specifically copper based) door handles for probably centuries; they're naturally anti-microbial:

Might be time for a come-back.

There is going to be plenty of opportunities in commercial real estate with all the companies that are going to be opening up soon.
