The pandemic introduced the panic on a global scale, I’m not sure the current government have the competence to introduce panic.

I think most people are intelligent enough to know when they have Covid-like symptoms, and with the government’s continuation of the 28-day rule for requiring a medical certificate for sickness absence, there is no excuse to go out there infecting everyone else.
That is only helpful for anyone getting sick pay and ignores the attendance management policies of many companies that - if you got infected twice a year and took a week off - would penalise “common sense”.

Of course people should go back to the office. What’s stopping them?
Efficiency?

I’m surprised that give your supposed love of freedom - and trust in people to demonstrate common sense - that you lack the trust in people, their managers and their organisations to determine their most appropriate work location.

Why is this worthy of government dictat but not public health?

There’s no going back to 2019, ever. For the man with the 2035 vision of the future I’m surprised working practices look like 1995.
