I will say, as a manager for remote teams for a while now (pre COVID-19). Business hours can be a useful gating function to encourage remote team members to not overwork themselves. Work/life balance is important, and business hours can provide a guideline framework.

Just a tip from someone that was once home bound for an extended period with a broken ankle: Start your car and if possible drive it around a bit every couple of weeks or so. Lotta cars (especially in two car families) are gonna be needing a jump when all of this is is over.
