Odds of consultants working in-office by September 31st in many/most U.S. locations?

Title^ No one knows, I know - looking to aggregate opinions to get a general sense of how people feel. This leaves room for some firms and locations to be the exception, but the question is targeted at what the 'norm' will be. This includes adjusted plans like WFH half the time, in-office the other half, etc.

Very unlikely. My firm is in a major city and the office is closed through labor day at the least. Afterwards building management has proposed regulations such as max 25% occupancy. Firm leadership says nobody is required to be in office until Jan 2021.

Given that most of the country is lifting restrictions prematurely I'd say we're headed for a second lockdown or worse. My bet is that there is no change until a vaccine is developed and widely distributed unless we decide to say fuck it and press through worsening conditions.
