With the mad panic and mass self isolation over covid 19, people will see the benefits and the logistics of shopping online. Once this period ends, the retailers that do survive will dwindle as people will have found a trust and ability to shop online and continue to do so.

I would go as far to say that once this settles down, there will be at least a 20% increase in regular online shoppers.
