Freedom to put other people at risk will naturally make others act in a risk averse manner. Given the economic importance of making people feel safe it’s folly on the part of some politicians to keep pushing the “freedom” rhetoric over minor inconveniences - like masks.
Of all the people I know working from home not a single one has plans to go back to an office even a majority of the time let alone all of the time. Given that’s 40% or so of the workforce “freedom” for others to act like fools has huge economic cost. Given the airborne nature of transmission it’s impossible for employers to make buildings Covid secure, they’re relying on the numbers coming down in society as a whole.
