Lots and lots of people I know, and who are friends of friends feel this way.
The airlines will DUMP summer prices. Hotels and air fare to popular destinations will be damn near free just to get people in the door. Vegas will practically pay people to visit this summer. And once the cruise lines get up and running again you'll be able to get a 7 day cruise for probably $10/day.

At least for a month or two, maybe a bit longer.

The travel industry will work as a loss leader just to get people used to travelling again.

So even people who are near broke or maybe even unemployed will still be able to take small mini-vacations this summer (especially if on a credit card).

And then once people start to see that they aren't going to die because they boarded an aircraft, stayed in a hotel, or took a cruise, things will start to return to a more normalized economic flow.
