Yes, but it is likely to get weaker over time, and combined with vaccines for any new strains that develop it won't be a major problem except for the really vulnerable, e.g. People with weakened immune systems or serious underlying conditions. You wouldn't think it odd to stay at home if you had a really bad cold or flu it's just going to be like that.
I remember posting on here the Christmas before last, that the hysteria around Covid would not last, it would become assimilated into our culture in the same way that flu is.
It had to be, we could never sustain that level of hysteria.
Covid is now regarded in the same way as flu - exactly as I knew it would be.
It's nasty, it kills vulnerable people, the rest of us just live with it.
Hopefully, should another major virus come along in the future, we will have learned from our experience this time around, and stop virtually painting crosses on our doors, and acting like the end of the world has come early.

In any workplace it's more effective for a staff member with something infectious to stay away, even with a bad cold. In a closed environment any bug can spread resulting in far higher staff absence. No one may know what their colleagues home situation may be and that bug could be carried back to a vulnerable family member.
I always told staff members who struggled in to go home again, I could cover one absence, but probably not 3,4, or more.

//Surely you should stay off work in some lines of employment for fear of passing it on to a vulnerable person.//
Both good points. But why would you test for one particular disease (other than the fact that you can)? If you have a cold or flu-like illness, what it actually is should not influence your decision.

Only diamonds are forever.
The masses have been put in their place and the world has been remodelled to suit the ends of the few.
It'll all be forgotten when prices start to fall in the shops although that may not happen for years. Road fuel is an example of a new retail norm created by the greedy and unaccountable.
