I think this is a really underestimated benefit of this whole thing.

I think a LOT of jobs could be done from home, but companies don't like letting people work from home because then they can't keep their thumb on all of their employees' back.

I've worked from home for the last 3 weeks and I have been just as productive as before, but my quality of life is exponentially higher.

And that's before you even get into the lower traffic and cleaner air.

In the age of the internet, I think everyone who CAN work from home SHOULD work from home just on the basis of these three factors (worker quality of life, environmental and traffic/roadways). Fewer traffic accidents as well.

Hopefully, when this is over companies will re-evaluate their work from home considerations.
