I recall reading an article the first few months into lockdown that nationally, productivity was up a surprising 17% average.
I guess commercial landlords, micromanaging bosses, and the ultra rich realized it started to loosen their grip on the rest of us and we might like our lives a little. Every article after that was the complete opposite, and basically misinformation hit everywhere hard to pound out of our minds it was ever mentioned!
