I think Pilot DAR is right that nobody knows yet – but I don't share his/her confidence that a new normal will be in effect by autumn. We just don't know enough yet. For one example, will there be a working vaccine by the end of summer? Maybe there will, maybe there won't. And so on.
I'd say, if you've already booked travel for September/October, don't cancel yet if you don't have to – wait and see. If you haven't booked yet, do so only if you're sure of getting a refund if you cancel – otherwise, wait and see how things develop. My travel insurance renewal came a week or two ago, and the company now refuses to pay out on any claim with a sniff of COVID-19 in it.
Many plans are now on hold right now, and many people are trapped where they don't want to be. People I know are in UK because they can't get home to Italy, and in Australia because they can't get home to Europe. What if you travel to France, and there's a fresh outbreak, and you find that you can't get home again?
