LOL.
We’ll be seeing 70% of normal by 1 Aug 2020 domestically. International is going to take longer...

I mean to your point air traffic is currently at levels not seen since the 1950’s but we live in a different world now with regards to advances in technology and medicine. There are things that will probably never be the same but people will still travel. The numbers of coronavirus cases and unemployment claims are indeed staggering and disheartening but there are over 330 million people in the US, nearly 8 billion on the planet. Life will go on.
The hope is that great minds will come up with a vaccine or at least a method that would allow for commerce and travel to gradually and safely resume until we get a vaccine.
