Listened to that podcast last night actually, funny to see it here!
It absolutely paints a horrific future, financially and culturally. It (mainly the expert guest, Lauri Garrett) almost gives no possibility of being wrong or too extreme in the projections. I don't know the future, but the podcast is in such stark contrast to what's happening right now, already, in some places.
Museums being warehouses no-one can go to? Louvre already opened on July 6.
Facemasks forever? Take a look at webcams from all over the world in famous spots-- barely a single person is wearing a mask in Rome (check in the day when the monuments are crowded.
UK was in the news for offering massive discounts to get the people out to restaurants -- government offering the discounts, not the restaurants themselves!
Confusing signals/behavior is all I can say.

Some museums are opening with limited admissions to ensure social distancing. Performing arts are completely cancelled through the end of the year at least. I don't see how they can resume in January. Restaurants in the northern hemisphere seem to be opening where they have outside service.
