Many companies are now shifting to full time remote work. The new normal is the new normal, things may never go back to the way they were. And companies might be able to save a lot of money on office space as well. I know in Seattle and Portland, there are quite a few firms who are allowing remote work because of issues of safety as well, chaos and disorder combined with a pandemic creates a new set of challenges we've never had to deal with before in concert.

Correct, which is why I'd like to see this same analysis redone once social distancing is relaxed and the situation on the ground (e.g. in Seattle/Portland) stabilizes, but people are still working from home.
I'd be surprised to see if the same tendency to blur life and work, such as by working on evenings and weekends, persists once life returns to its previous form.
