Wouldn’t be surprised to see many US companies that can work remotely follow suit.

I'll be bringing this into the office tomorrow I think!
Where I work (in the UK) we're currently still working from home and likely will be till next year. There are rumours it could be till 2021 but first they need to evaluate if people are being as productive at home as in the office otherwise they'll be trying to get us back in as soon as possible.

Cat tests positive for COVID-19 in UK's first animal infection

"There is no evidence to suggest that the animal was involved in transmission of the disease to its owners or that pets or other domestic animals are able to transmit the virus to people," the government said on its website.
It added that the cat and its owners have since made a full recovery.
"This is a very rare event with infected animals detected to date only showing mild clinical signs and recovering within in a few days," said the UK’s chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss.
"We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will update our guidance to pet owners should the situation change."
I am full of good news
My hospital system has broken it's peak admissions record - new COVID-19 census is 89 (previous high 78 couple months ago)
Still a relatively low number in the sense of bed availability for the region.
Now to head off to the not even arsed animal thread for some cute animal therapy
That may not be consolation for long
If you don't mind my asking, how are they planning to do that?
Well we have certain outputs that are required each week/month so it'll be reviewing the quality of those, the pace we're completing them etc.
They'll work out fast whether it's long term but I know the director isn't a fan of WFH based on his own experiences working previously in the states.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
Ideal but not realistic for this school year.

I'm WFH since March and will be continuing to do so until the end of September.
We have all been told that from October, and conditional on any public health advice, we are expected to make ourselves available for a return to the office on a rotational basis.
I'd rather not return at all this year but I understand the flip side that it wasn't going to be a permanent and forever arrangement.
I'd anticipate having to work 5-6 weeks in the office up to the end of the year. I'm going to wait until I'm personally requested to go back rather than volunteering in October, and then I'd prefer staggered hours as I commute by train.

Makes perfect sense - where it is feasible people should work from home until we have somehow beaten this thing.

I’m back in today. It makes no sense at all when I hear of other regions in the company still working from home for the foreseeable. The team I’m in are only back because our manager is proper vindictive, manipulative arse and he doesn’t trust us.
That may not be consolation for long
FFS Bruce. Weren't you the one moaning about all the pandemic doom and gloom?

Looks like lockdowns on the way in Bavaria. One quite big outbreak in particular by the look of it.
Local transmission rates will presumably have a big impact as well.
Northern California had been doing really well despite being hit early - in part because the tech firms were really proactive in implementing WFH. However we’ve slipped in recent weeks and a lot of schools are distance learning until at least October so anyone with kids would have struggled to go back to the office anyway.
To me, unless people are taking the piss, it's a long-term strategy for lots of businesses. Should reduce traffic on the roads, reduce carbon emissions, people are spending less of their money on travel, eating out at lunches, getting more sleep, easier childcare etc.
There are just so many benefits for me personally.
