Keep in mind that in many industries, a job that can be done from home can just as easily be done from India. Don't think for a moment that a lot of these U.S. employers are looking hard at ALL their options in a time of disruption like this.
This is one of several factors that tell me the first push for employees to return to work is likely to come from the EMPLOYEES, not the employers.

Except we already have examples of Indian call centers/remote work not working out at all well. Microsoft has been finding out that Indian coding is a mess and Indian support centers have been a disaster for them, to use one example. Apple refuses to use Indian centers for support or work on North American customers or projects.

Forgot to mention - one thing that’s likely to stop WFH from being a way to leak jobs to India is data handling/privacy laws and requirements to comply with US regulations for a lot of clerking. Companies would have skipped WFH and outsourced desk jobs to India long before now if they could legally do so.
