In fact, my worry is that this event will actually impede WFH. You've got a bunch of people who don't want to WFH, or who have kids at home or other handicaps; the productivity hit will be tremendous, and bosses will feel this. Sure, we can rationally explain it away, but I doubt any of that will stick to a boss who was already on the fence or somewhat against WFH. They will just see their biases confirmed.
