Probably better to expect an "expiration date" for many of the COVID-19 extraordinary measures
In our conversations with clients this week, one of the questions that has come up is how many of the pandemic-driven changes wrought in our World are permanent or only extraordinary. Among the key questions:

- work from home
- COVID-19 prevalence
- education
- vaccinations
- government support
- Fed and central banks
- etc

It is an obvious and long list.  This is not the world's first pandemic, but it is the first that brought a full global economic shutdown.  And it is the first that forced governments to impose lockdowns.  So, the question of how many of these policies remain in place versus have a natural expiration date is a key question.

...Return to work remains unknown, but major corporations are pushing for return to office
Not surprisingly, businesses are pushing for a return to the office.  There are multiple reasons for this stemming from work flow, culture, reduce job turnover (easier to switch jobs in a remote setting) and there are generational differences as older Americans are more interested in a return to the office. That said, the progress to date has been slow as shown on the chart from the WSJ.
