And also, you hedged yourself by saying "coming decades" - that is a long enough span that you could never be wrong (at least in our life time, LOL).
Tech always brings disruptive changes. That will continue. But do I expect people rising up to overthrow the bums and guillotine them literally or figuratively? Don't count on it in US.
My prediction is that Eurozone countries will either shrink in number to a few core nations (FR, DE, ND, etc) or Euro will simply fall apart as a currency and each will go back to its original currency before any revolution ever happens in the US. I also think China will become an existential threat to Europe and they will be torn between US and China. Either way, I am much more pessimistic about Europe than US, as an economic destination. Europe of course remains a lovely place to visit, the people are nicer (perhaps not so nice to Black people? I don't know and can't speak), food is awesome and just remains a lovely place to live and retire (and fuck for those of us mongers); I have this inner peace and tranquility when I am visiting Europe which I never seem to have in US (because I am enjoying copious amounts of sex when I am in Europe? LOL) but it is getting crushed between US and China and has no easy way out on the economic side.

Would spoil the mood for me even after she stopped coughing, as I reimagine that picture LOL.
I guess your testosterone levels must be much higher than mine.

It will be easy to be point fingers at brothels, prostitutes, and their customers for not providing / checking contact data, or accepting / providing false contact data.
The end conclusion is simple and foreseeable as authorities will say: "you see, people can not be trusted, so now we need to shut down brothels and force everybody to install totalitarian CV19 tracking apps on phones to monitor everybody 24/7. "
There is already a lot of media hype about every new case of CV19, and the stage for a second wave (real or imagined) is set. Furthermore, for ideological reasons, any successful treatment of CV19 is deliberately blocked by most western governments and the WHO because this was endorsed by Trump. In my country, doctors who successfully treated many patients with hydroxychloroquine + vitamine see, the + zinc are being silenced by the health authorities and shamed in the media for being quacks.
When authorities want something, they always deliberately create a crisis and then provide their "solution" as the only option. And it's always also a few irresponsible idiots that ruin it for everybody else. Tracking apps and a vaccine seem to be the only "solutions" that most governments are willing to consider, because it gives them more power.
I want to return to the old days of happy and carefree FKK clubbing!

The pandemic might not directly lead to unrest, but it forced people to reflect on inequalities. Blacks feel left behind. Poor rural whites feel left behind. Millennials feel left behind (exorbitant student loans, 2008 crisis, 2020 crisis). The Fourth Industrial Revolution will also bring about disruptive changes. Given the below quote, I would be surprised if there isn't a strong push for universal health care or universal basic income in the coming decades:
"The feeling that society is rigged against them helps explain the sharply leftward shift in views among many millennials in the US. In a poll conducted last year by Harris, 49.6 per cent of Americans born after 1981 said they would prefer to live in a socialist country. A Harvard poll of Americans under 30 has seen a sharp increase in support over the past eight years for the idea that healthcare is a basic right that the government should have a role in providing: in the poll this year, 63 per cent agreed."

Would you Knowingly have oral sex without a condom or straight sex with a condom with a girl who has AIDS even though there is only little danger?
I will not respond to you anymore, you lack common sense and you have shown that you have a general lack of understanding concerning English. If I was playing you in a game of chess, I would just walk away because playing with you could negatively affect my intelligence.
Also, the US dollar is printed by the Federal Reserve which is owned by the same people who run the World Banks and International Monetary Fund and they also print the Euro and currencies of over 200 countries. With fractional lending most money is not backed by anything except a country's citizens deposits of cash in the banks and they can print 9 times more than a country has in the bank. They sell newly printed money to a country at about a 20% increase and then charge about 5% interest per year on top of that until it is repaid.

The reality is that most of us are not privy to the financial statements of any of these clubs, so we are just guessing.
If the club has a good brand name, even if the owners become bankrupt, it may be kept alive by new owners after ownership and capital restructuring.
If the club's attendance was so so and did not have any compelling brand name, then it would be tougher. In such a scenario, not many new owners will step forward in case of bankruptcy by prior owners.
A very important variable is how fast and how strong will business come back? In the US, restaurants and other establishments are finding out that even when they open, customers are coming back only half heartedly. I guess the virus is being handled better in EU and seems your situation is better. Perhaps locals will go back. But what about the sex tourists from US / Asia? What about business men (that dirty word again, Sirioja!) who travel to DE for some business and pop in to Oase for a quick fuck? Would international travel come back at the same rate? If not, which clubs are more exposed to that particular segment and who will lose out more / less? I don't believe we have enough info to know the answers to all these questions.
