"Home working is here to stay, even after this. Obviously it was always an option, but now we have proved to our clients we are fully operational with the building closed I don't see why we can't provide it as an option for all employees going forward."

I've been working from home 2-3 days a week for as long as I've been with this employer, now I'm home fulltime. Eventually I'd like to get back to going into the office a couple days a week but I dread ever having to go in every weekday. I'm really hoping that one positive thing to come of this whole mess is a lot more companies finally realizing that there's no reason to require everyone to be in the office every day, many people can work productively from home or wherever and with the tools we have available these days it's easier than ever. Commuting every single day is a waste of time. Working from home I work more hours on average yet feel less tired from it. Each day that I'm home is ~2 hours I don't spend killing time on a bus.

Same here. I've been working home 3/5 for a whole while already, now it's 5/5 - we keep in touch through a chat and Jitsi.

Yep.
One thing to be careful about though is keeping a clear distance between work and private life, which is much harder to do when you work at home.

Other Impacts of Coronavirus:
Has Sexual Distancing come into force yet?
What are the recommended distances, procedures, protections,
and pre and post wash routines? hopefully a very watered down IPA mix :o

Sexual "distancing" is nothing new, it does exist ever since AIDS has been known to be a pandemic. (And other STDs of course, but when you think about it, most people didn't really care about STDs in general before AIDS, except those that got them of course.)
Of course Covid-19 adds to the mix that now you can get infected if you are closer than 1 or 2 meters. People may now be required to wear some kind of latex masks to kiss unless they have both been properly tested not infected. Fun stuff.
But just like with the advent of AIDS, it's likely that there will be an after Covid-19, and people may suddenly care about seasonal flu and even just colds, when most of them really didn't care much before that. Just a random thought. I know you were just kind of trolling.

My wife send me a highly inappropriate video on that so I won't post it here (no, not of herself but something someone forwarded to her). 8)
