@Carth that's a post and a half.

The government want people where possible to return to work if they can't work from home and their place of employment is safe (as has always been the case),
A degree of the population will WANT to return to work that could be for financial reasons or mental health reasons etc.
A degree of the population NEED people to return to work. (Example, our oven decided to stop working whilst in the initial lockdown period, had it not been for the lovely people at AO who fitted a new double oven for us less than two days after ordering, then we wouldn't have had an oven for four weeks)
I'm not sure how returning to work if it's safe to do so is 'reckless' ? We have to start taking very small tentative steps towards a 'new normal'
@Carth, agree with JFMan that's a blinder of a post.
