The High street was already changing into a place of leisure rather than a place of shopping.

If the bars,cafes etc go under, High Streets will become ghost towns.
Agreed.
It had been going that way but one key area, casual dining was suffering before the Coronavirus. Many chains were closing or cutting back eg Prezzo, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Chimichanga, CAU. The sector was suffering from over-expansion to unprofitable sites, an increase in raw material costs following the decrease in the value of the £ and increases in minimum wages and in some areas, business rates.
