I've had people from Germany, India, and all over ping me for help on something when they find that I've run into a similar issue.
The sunk cost fallacy means we'll mostly see people returning to office buildings, but new investments in infrastructure will drop like a rock. Not a good time to be in commercial real estate. Perhaps high rise offices can be converted into condos.
