Not even if media somehow put out articles like “COVID less fatal than originally thought!” It’s all mental and personal now, no one that has gotten into the COVID quarantine groove is every going out again until a vaccine. Stats just won’t matter.... IMO
A lot of people I know are Zoomin’ for work, having back yard BBQs with family over and going in their pools daily. The shock factor of the initial March shutdown is gone. People who held onto their job and can work from home have no desire analyze the stats.
They'll probably matter, to some extent, but it surely won't be an immediate return to normal. Maybe TSA numbers around 1.8M daily instead of 2.6M. Even if people aren't worried about dying, getting stuck with a miserable virus for 10ish days while traveling is still enough of an incentive for people to change their plans.
