This is the reason I have sold my last 3 or 4 sporty cars :(

Oh, I totally get it and I am quite thankful I have been able to stay employed through all of this.
It is strange how traffic patterns have changed. Sections of highway that used to back up like crazy during rush hours can now be breezed through as much of the commuting traffic was office workers now doing WFH. Even 6+ months after this started, I can cross the I-95 NJ-PA bridge (which is also a construction zone as the bridge is being replaced) during rush-hour and fly through at the speed limit or more whereas previously it would be a 3 mile back-up between 4 & 6PM. Other roads that are more retail-oriented traffic are more back to normal.
There will always be some jobs that need to be done on-site. I can say with certainty that trying to do construction admin work from 360 miles away is less effective than when I am actually there at the site in NH. However, the reasons I'm not there are not really Covid related. The difference is instead of me working remotely from the PA office, I'm in my home office. Functionally, there isn't much difference. It's actually better since I'm in Teams meetings a lot which would be disturbing to my coworkers were I in my cubicle.

When I was required to WFH (as opposed to now when I'm required to not WFH...) I went to the office a few times while traffic volumes were reduced by 60% (based on info released by the state) and at one particular interchange on the interstate there were multiple vehicular collisions every time I drove through there that involved more vehicles than were moving within my sight distance at the time. How do you do that? Six or eight vehicles on the side of the interstate that had been involved in a collision when I could only see 6 vehicles in motion in front or in back of me. You have to be aiming for somebody to do that E36 M3! Al Quieda on berkeleying steriods takes out 8 of 8 cars within a 1 mile radius...
