How will geek culture change post Coronavirus?

Geeks and geek culture took over the entertainment industry over the last ten years and redefined 'cool' in America. Events like NYCC and SDCC receive as much buzz and coverage as anything else, and movies based on comics routinely dominate the box office. The Coronavirus has forced us all into temporary self-quarantine, but what happens when this pandemic ends? How will geek culture be impacted by our newfound fear of physical closeness when so many of the ways we celebrate our mutual love for the nerdy involve massive group gatherings? We'll discuss all this and more in our main topic.
