Everyone on video screens, less commuting, more working from home if physical presence isn't necessary.

I'm fortunate that I've been work-at-home for a few years now. My current project cratered (eyecare customer service - nobody is getting their eyes checked at the moment and they've cut my hours in the past weeks) but since I'm established, my company can quickly switch me to another project. I'm supposed to train for another program phone-assisting medical providers next week if all goes well!
