I'm thinking that some of the businesses that switched to telecommuting won't be switching back.

I couldn't agree more, though that will only apply to people with white collar jobs that require no direct human interface.  I'm not sure how that plays long-term.

I am lucky enough to be one of those people. But many others are not.

I think it might be enough to relieve severe traffic jams for quite a few years, until population builds up or road repair falls behind.
