But the article goes on to say that "common human activity that aren’t represented among these listed SSEs: watching movies in a theater, being on a train or bus, attending theater, opera, or symphony"

But what I found interesting about the article (and it is long read) is his hypotheses on mode of transmission. Which is the "direct ballistic delivery of a large-droplet Flüggian payload from face A to face B" and that means that interventions like the "expanded use of masks and social distancing is critical" And we should also speak softly, avoid “coughing, blowing and sneezing,” or exhibiting any kind of agitated respiratory state in public, and angle their mouths downward when speaking."

But he does warn that he is a Computer Scientist rather than having any medical background.

Start Ups are about the new new thing. How will your ballet company be new? Even contemporary dance is not that new.

Why this is important is that the audience for the arts is quite stable, where startups are geared towards discovering new markets.

One idea could be looking at eXtended Reality and thinking if that can transform your ballet company into a new product.

Maybe you can try to explain why, but Adamm Smith who defined the concept of Monopoly would disagree with you. The purpose of the government is to stop firms ever being able to create one.This means before a monopoly is created.

Why not break them up with identical tech stack to start off with. So you could have 10 Google Search engines. Then let them inovate from there.

With Apple it would be the same. You would have several platforms competing with IOS. Eventually they will start to doffer on thier offerings.
