If so, it seems like another argument in favour of letting most people work from home.

All that does is establish an arbitrary new balance between the effectiveness of people's immune systems and the infectious diseases that continue to work through society. Any time you go from less societal interaction to more interaction there will be a boost in infections before it settles down to normal, but I'm not sure that the answer is to continually reduce societal interaction simply to reduce the spread of mild illnesses.
