I don't doubt there's a lot of worry, but I'm also watching people who don't want to return to the office (because they moved to Idaho or whatever) generate things to worry about which explain their desire to stay home in more socially acceptable terms than "personal convenience"

Me, I've been working mostly from home since 2006, I like working mostly from home, & I think most firms should go hybrid to leverages the social-capital-building benefits of in-person *plus* the convenience and low distraction of at-home. But not b/c I'm afraid of covid-19.
Also, workers who think all firms should offer 100% work-from-home should consider that if your job can be done 100% from your house, it can also probably be done 100% from Bangalore, so you actually have a personal stake in preserving the office.
Finally, I hope that offices where WFH is possible will consider implementing a "sick non-leave" policy where employees are expected to WFH when they've caught something. Because it's nice not having everything that's going around your coworker's daycares.
