I am mid 50s, low risk but DH is retired and medium risk due to age, health is great. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Do whichever one makes you happier. I've been WFH since before covid and I MUCH prefer working like this, but I know some hate it. Some people like their offices, reading during their commute, etc. [ Reply | More
