I mean, if you wanted to do a short tour (~6-9 months) right now, you could probably start and stay remote for most of that time.

In general, it's really useful to be around the table with stakeholders. In a COVID world, that's less important, but when we get through this, it really does make a difference if people can be in DC.

That said, these times are definitely an experiment in how to do remote work well.
