This could all be complicated by the foreign ownership of many enterprises who might well restrict their capital to their home countries.

Likewise, office blocks may well have to be repurposed and turned into homes - a very good idea - but this shake out may well result in job losses.

We have a very complicated situation on our hands.

There's no may well result in job losses, it will. Offices could still end up empty if the WFH works out well as a bonus for companies.
