"t might take a while for things to get back to normal, but would it be a disaster if if you were short of altar boys for a while?"

For the parish, no. Altar servers are optional in the Novus Ordo.

For my daughter, yeah, I think it would be pretty ugly if she got a letter in the mail saying "your service is no longer needed"
