As someone who has done remote working more or less exclusively for 6 years, the current state of affairs for most homes does not reflect the reality of what "Work From Home" looks like in normal, non-emergency times.
You can't competently work from home full time and also manage children. Even for people without children, they are dealing with co-workers who are juggling a new normal, have not set up dedicated work spaces, are fumbling to learn how to use zoom/meet/hangout etc...
I say all this to point out that, even in non-ideal conditions with little to no preparation or planning, most people would still rather work from home.
Work from home should be the STANDARD, not the exception, for white collar work.
