Affect of Covid-19 on international travel

How many of you like to travel internationally a lot? Or maybe your work is dependent on it?
I was planning to really start doing a lot of it this year and next.
I am a bit worried about these different countries all closing borders and cracking down on travel. How much of it will they peel back when things are safe again? Will international travel be substantially harder in the coming years? More countries requiring visas etc?
What do you think?

This virus is absolutely crushing the airline industry.
They're grounding hundreds to thousands of airplanes, retiring old planes sooner than they expected, canceling flights by as high as 40%, delaying delivery of new planes from Airbus and Boeing, implementing hiring freezes, laying off tons of employees, asking employees to take unpaid leave for an indefinite amount of time, and so on.
It's already made a few airlines in Europe go bankrupt and cease all operations and Korean Air in Asia for example might not survive.
Lufthansa, Korean, Qantas, China Southern, Malaysia have all grounded their A380s with Emirates grounding a lot but not all of them.
