...and my BIL's anecdotal observation that almost none of his attorneys will come into the office now, it appears that COVID has changed the landscape...High Tech workers and enabling professionals (e.g. Lawyers) who can work from home are doing well, but those in urban areas who have depended on office dwellers in the past (Hotels, Restaurants, Office staffs, Maintenance workers) are suffering the effects of the WFH shift.
