The difference, at least for me, it's that I'm more worried for several other things than work and I cannot be as productive as I was before. Also some people have kids at home because schools are closed; my SO for instance is also at home, while usually she's not, and the apartment is not bigger now that we're two; sometimes I need to go to the grocery at specific time because otherwise is crowded... And even worse, as other comment mentioned, some people would have sick family and / or friends. There are many things that make this situation different than a "regular day working from home".

Thank you! EDIT: You said: "I'm more worried for several other things than work and I cannot be as productive as I was before." This makes sense - I have some acquaintances who have parents locked up in long-term care facilities that they haven't seen since February - and this is taxing both the parents and the kids/grandkids that can't see them. You (also)said: "There are many things that make this situation different than a "regular day working from home"." You bring up several good points. I was focused on the "working from home" part, I've actually been more concerned about the funemployment people, for which I do food-bank work (Whole Foods, HEB (it's a grocery store in Texas) and Bank of America (who would have thunk?) have all been very very generous), but there are other "factions" of people with other concerns that my brain was kind of glossing over somehow. I already said "Thank You", but I really do appreciate your clarification. It broke open some blocked thinking pathways for me.
