I'm not sure what is behind your rush of questions recently on books/magazines and publishing, and it might help others to give you the information you actually need if you were more forthcoming as to whether there is an agenda here or all of this is idle -- frankly, very idle -- curiosity.
If people are ill or anxious or grieving or at their wits' end over home schooling or loss of income or freedom, they're not going to be able to write well or quickly, and perhaps not at all. That's going to mean the stories aren't going to be there, or aren't going to be as good. Editors may also be sick or worried or depressed or simply rushed off their feet looking after shielding relatives or covering for others who can't work, so won't be able to produce at their best. And so it goes on all down the line. And that's without factoring in the loss of collegiate thinking and help when people are working from home and can't meet, not to mention all the issues of how to sell books when bookshops are closed and even when open are largely deserted because a great many people are frightened to enter shops.
The publishing business is not filled with and run by AIs or automatons. Perhaps if you actually thought about the real impact of Covid and the terrible strain it's putting on so many people everywhere you would be able to understand how it affects everything, not just the visuals of film.
