>On top of that, a lot of people won't want to go back to the office, not because they enjoy working from home, but because they will still be afraid of getting the virus. Being at the office probably won't feel normal anyway due to continued social distancing and the use of masks

That's where I'm at. My workplace put out a survey to see how people felt about going back to the office next month, and I don't think anyone was willing to risk it. We'd be wearing masks, taking public transit to/from the office, and sanitizing our hands every 15 minutes.

Having spoken to some management people, this survey is mostly being done just to confirm that we should discuss getting rid of the office entirely. Which would be a huge cost saving for us.
