There will still be demand for products, even if the demand is in different areas because of behavior change. If you are invested in the broad market, you should capture this increase in demand and profit along with the losses in the bad stuff (cruise lines, etc.)
By my estimates, there are still something like 6,999,300,000 consumers out there after the 700,000 COVID deaths. We have lost 1/100 of 1% of the world consumers to the virus so far.
If I was 20+ years younger (your age), I would have a lot more aggressive position in my way of thinking about the future of markets. However, I don't have a decade to wait out a serious pullback in equities.
Yes there are 7 billion people in the world and they will consume goods and services, but maybe not at a rate to be 70% of their country's GDP like here in the U.S.
