These cities are banking on a massive bailout from government. This bailout will be so fraught with fraud.

Yes, but so is every city, county and state. How is there going to be enough to go around? Exactly how are they all going to be "bailed out?" I am still waiting for an explanation of how that is going to work.

Accurate. The only positive on Biden winning is that Cedric Richmond will funnel the bailout to Latoya. Rumor has it destroya has, and will continue, to shutdown to get these funds.

NOLA has survived global pandemics before. It will be fine. People like to act like chicken littles and pretend the sky is falling. Doom and gloom is sexy - life returning to normal, not so much.

It bounced back after Katrina and this isn't as bad
99.9% of the US was not impacted by Katrina and had money to spend, with a lot purposefully coming to NOLA to help. No one has money to spend.
Nagin actually wanted the city to succeed, LaToya is hell bent on destroying the city since her time on city counsel.
What industry will employ the 1000's of workers left unemployed when the restaurant industry starts shuttering the glut of places currently open? What do you do with those workers when they can't pay bills or leave and the city's population and tax base dwindles?

Yeah, many don't seem to understand that this is a very different situation. It is true as others have pointed out that NO has survived big pandemics before and bounced back. But look at what the city was back then and its demographics. It had a functioning, robust economy and was an important part of the nation's economic engine. It is totally different today. I hate to say it, but the city's prospects are exceedingly bleak. And with the leadership it has, it has no shot.

But has it survived pandemics with forced government shutdowns?
I keep ragging on the Saints.. But for a city that main income is tourism. you would think that the Saints would be trying to promote more tourism and local support, and less BLM social issues that could possibly be driving away needed tourism revenue. But what do I know.. I am just some flunky posting on an internet message board huh?
and again I want to go on record that the Saints will win the Superbowl this year... Not because they are the best team in the NFL, but because they are the most WOKE and this is the message that Goodell wants to promote. Bank on it.
Sure, corporate place will survive, but Mom and Pop restaurants and souvenirs shops will be the ones that probably won't make it.. ANd again, for a city that main goal is tourism that is a problem. There are Burger Kings everywhere and in every city... But only NOLA has things like Corner Market, Central Grocery. Crabby Jacks. Domilise's.
The Rampant Criminal activities is not helping the tourism market either.

The fraud and corruption was always there in New Orleans. That’s nothing new.
This becomes a supply and demand thing. Places will close up. Then when this clears up, people will go out en masse. The demand for restaurants, bars, etc will go up. Thus, new places will get up and running. I’d venture to say that many owners who closed up shop will reopen, albeit in a different location.
I’m not expecting NO to become a utopia. But there’s no reason to think it can’t get back to what it was pre-lockdown.

Remember when this board’s top minds predicted boycotts would cause complete failure of the city after the statues were taken down and then it broke tourism records every year following? 
There were tourists crowding Bourbon St this summer in 90 degree weather when the bars were closed. The city will be fine, much to the dismay of its haters.

No one in their right minds was saying this. I hope you are right that all will be well after we get an effective vaccine. I'm just not as optimistic. I think there will be permanent damage. And it is sad because it didn't have to be that way. Look at states like Florida that are basically functioning normally.

Does your heart break for those who have died?
No, because they died from something nature (or the CCP) created. The people that are left to suffer due to the idiots in charge are the sad stories.
Youall may be too young to have had older friends during Katrina. Older as in retired but still mentally and physically active.
We had friends in that age group and all survived Katrina (they were smart and didn't make dumb decisions). But the stress of living there, of rebuilding houses and businesses...took a toll and many died within five years, and the ones that survived have decision making problems they didn't have pre-Katrina.
Living in a city with widespread unemployment as well as underemployment and trying to get by will take a toll.

That was mainly locals, and locals paying $2 for a beer to some dude selling out of an ice chest in the back of his car isn't going to prop up the city's economy.
To the point about surviving other pandemics, NOLA literally, and I mean it literally, has little to no real industry left. What O&G they have left is minuscule. You have Entergy, and no other Fortune 500 company in the city, and nothing to leverage to attract them. The city leadership has almost intentionally scared away business and the state leadership under JBE has helped double down on it.
I love the city, and see all of the potential it has, but it is screwed.
