It just isn't going to work that way. Nothing is going to replace human contact no matter how much corporations want it, or how profitable it is right now. When the virus goes away for good, things will start coming back.

And it's the people and the events, not the brands, that make the world worth exploring and will continue to do so long after the virus is gone. A virtual Oktoberfest is definitely not the same as the in person one. A virtual South By Southwest is not the same as the in person one. A virtual wedding is not the same as the in person one. A live concert is not the same as one you see in your car. Live sports are not the same as sports with no audiences. You see where I am going with this.
