I think it's likely we will have to write off the entire summer for non-essential travel.

This will obviously be devastating to the aviation industry but the demand will come back eventually. For the leisure sector, Spain and Italy etc will be desperate for business, so I can't see them closing their borders for such a length of time that the economic fallout outweighs the threat of the virus. Late Winter will be busier than usual with a lot of people wanting to get away (especially to the sun) after 6 months of restricted living. This industry will look very different but I hope also that the public will turn against the ultra-capitalist corruption of our big companies and demand a better society.
