Yes to everything you just said. Except, as a recluse by nature, I don’t miss friends or family (I didn’t spend time with them before). The changes in my life due to the pandemic have been an absolute godsend, and I’m thriving. I live in fear that the extraverts will take over again once vaccinations are a thing, and we’ll “forget” the quiet oases we’ve discovered away from the commute, the office, and the absolute communal everything that they crave.
I don’t want things to change. (Except all the deaths. Let’s do see to that.)
Now now, we can't go having an economy with a large part of skilled labor. It must return to majority exploited service sector and low wage and benefit workers. Else how can those skilled enjoy what's left of a middle class lifestyle!?

I also hope for a life that has less requirements for my physical presence for pointless activities/niceties work-related or otherwise.
