The TSA screening numbers are on the rise. As the economy opens, it requires business travel and the screening values reflect that. The airlines have also quickly adapted. 7-8 flights a day between two hubs yield low pax counts, drop that to 2-3 a day and the values go up. My DH on 787 DFW-LAX a few days back was 2/3rds full.

From the low of 87,534 screenings on 4/14/2020 to the high since then of 215,444 on 5/8/2020 shows a early, positive trend.

A friend owns a company that has a machine that uses water jets to cut parts. It’s been broken since about the start of Covid19. Finally the technician from New Jersey is flying out to fix it. Business travel isn’t all suits who have the option of zooming instead, it takes a persons traveling to keep businesses moving.
