I wrote this just as got distracted by kids / life etc - was meant to be a little more ... something.
What I am trying to say is that enclosed public spaces are going to be very risky for a long time - airline cabins, High rise elevators etc.
And someone is going to have to offset that risk - someone will need to pay for insurance such that if I catch Covid on your airplane and I sue the airline, they are covered.
Similarly the firm that employs me will need insurance to protect itself for 'forcing' me into an elevator in order to work.
These insurers will set the baseline - maximum occupancy, levels of pre-boarding tests etc. Whatever it is what will drive the occupancy rates will be determined by insurance premiums.
In airline terms that's almost certain to drive up ticket prices. It is also likely to put nitro into the tanks of NetJets etc - if you can afford first class you won't ever dream of getting on a Jumbo jet again.
SO I agree with the thrust of the article. What does strike me is that if you work somewhere that requires an elevator to get to it, you almost certainly can work from home.
