I like your train of thought nettle. what if this somehow merges into the infinite strike, if no one goes back to work, and if we get an idea of what is really important in our lives, specifically human and nonhuman contacts and communities, and not consumer crap and bullshit jobs. what if we refuse to return to work, and instead use the freedom we have and lust for human contact after this to form new and strong bonds with the people around us. what if this kicks off into a refusal of society's tricking us into working hard and living reproductive lives, and we creep out of the cracks of social isolation to build bonds among our local environment and the people around us. there will be no going back to work, no return to the normal. the state has shown its authoritarian power, and the veil falls. lets play with new connections and a new lust for life!

on the flip side, maybe trust in humans we don't know breaks down, the trust that is necessary for capitalism to function, and this distrust leads to the building of real affinity with the people we find around us, such that we need to depend on each other for sustenance and survival. this loss of trust can be interesting to play with. lets plant those seeds in the people we do interact with during this time of social isolation, water, and see what grows.
