In the UK, the advice has been to work from home, but some people and companies have still been going in to the office. For example call centres haven’t seemed to figure out a work from home setup (as simple as this should be). And even with a very limited number of white collar employees going to their offices, there were still more infections stemming from these environments in the fall than from all of the leisure activities that were open then but have been closed again.

Restaurants have been really unfairly penalized throughout. It’s a scandal.
