But daycare closed is a different problem. If childcare would be closed, and you still had to commute to office... WFH saved you in this case.

  Sure, but childcare being closed and the requirement to work from home are being caused by the same thing this time. Childcare being closed in regular times is a rare occurrence; while it's annoying, people manage to work around it. Yes, that can be stressful, but it's just for one day out of however many. Right now it's every day. If childcare was running at normal capacity but parents were still working from home, they'd be a lot more productive and less stressed out.

    Not really, many people still have to go to work, even with childcare closed. WFH is a privilige, not burden.

      Right, I'm specifically talking about the parents who are working from home, not those who aren't. Those who aren't have extra things to be stressed about, like their increased risk of exposure to COVID-19.
