Glad you could find the good in the situation. We did something similar here 
when my mother broke her arm - I've seen more of my sister and my mom had 
seen more of her side of the family since then.

My company is talking about closing my physical office and remaining remote. 
My only physical constraint is a handful of ESX servers that I could host at 
another office in the area - and that office had a desktop support person 
that could act as remote hands for me.   :)

No one is talking about reimbursement for company use of internet/cell 
phones, it'll be interesting to see how they handle it.

We're still focused on Covid prevention in my house, although the region is 
relaxing restrictions. I'm in the same boat as you, being primary assistance 
for my elderly mom.

One nice thing to see is that the kids are totally normalized towards 
wearing masks indoors when there's no chance to social distance.

I hope we all come out of this a little wiser, wear masks when we have to go 
in to the office and aren't feeling well, and choose to stay home first. The 
dot-com era SuperHero that'd come into the office come hell or high water 
and work 10+ hours ended up doing everyone more harm than good.
