Rural areas are getting slammed pretty hard by covid. I don't think that will put the brakes on urbanization all that much.

perhaps you're looking at US? Generally I see a trend of people moving back to the countryside as remote work is by default now. London, UK is pretty empty too - all the restaurants and offices closed - means all the food that used to be consumed inside the city is now eaten somewhere in the commuter belt. That's a major shift...
That's do to a comparatively lower rate of mask usage and fewer medical resources.
