TCA is working with networks to explore virtual alternatives, but they wouldn't occur during the usual July-August time frame.
Besides, given all the shutdowns,
there aren't that many shows to offer.

There are very few pilots, no May upfronts, and now no TCA meetings. Fall is definitely going to look different on network TV.

Not really. There is typically nothing worth watching. Now, they don’t have to promote the nothing.

The thing about a disruption is that you can't know how it will play out. If there's nothing worth watching then the solution would be for the networks to create and program shows worth watching. But if TV advertising collapses like online media advertising has, why should we expect network TV to look like it has in the past? The major media companies are as likely to order a downsizing of their TV departments as they are to get creative and make more compelling TV series.

Spring 2021: how many episodic TV shows will have quarantine plot lines?

That's a tough question to answer.
On the one hand, you can't ignore something that has completely shaken up everyone's lives, with at the very least, social distancing likely to be continuing for some time to come.
On the other hand, viewers are likely to want entertainment and escapism, particularly if our lives haven't fully returned to normal.
The bigger question will be how much episodic TV drama there will actually be in Spring 2021? Will tests and maybe a vaccine have facilitated any kind of return to production normality?
