It was announced today that experts are already doubting the possibility of hosting the Tokyo Olympics even in the summer of 2021, because a vaccine may not be available or widely applied then. I suspect we are going to see a new wave of cancellations of things we initially thought might resume by the end of 2020 or mid-2021. I don’t know if this will affect enrollment of local students who wouldn't have to travel to campus, but the conference side of academia may be disrupted, i.e. everything which was scheduled for 2020 and was recently postponed to 2021, may not happen even then. Expect a lot of complaining from academics about this being a lost two years (at least) for them in terms of in-person networking and career advancement.
