As discussed by others, for many working from home will not be a long-term reality, but I think allowing this form of employment will benefit all of us in terms of quality of life, mental health, financially, and in a host of other ways.
fully agree
cannot work remote: Big Mac and Whopper assemblers, factory workers, dental hygienists, and used car salesman
many jobs can. even those that "couldn't" have been pushed over to remote and the kinks are being worked out as we speak.
coders, software engineers, CPAs, attorneys, are doing some (or more) of their work day in remote mode
Zoom, Cisco, Microsoft Teams, is all over this and working feverishly to further develop remote work technology and solutions.
