Not sure if we are going off topic, but doesn’t it make you sad to miss 2+ years of life experiences to save a relatively small chance of injury or death?
Most people are doing all of the things in your list by now.
I can’t comprehend hiding from this thing for years. Would feel like an awful waste of some of my prime years. I got bored after a few weeks!

I think we'll have to disagree on the "small" bit. Long COVID is a reality. Apparently 33% of all people infected suffer from it [1]. Last thing I want to do is my kids getting infected and having ongoing heart or lung conditions for the rest of their lives.
Plus, lots of stuff you can do without going indoors to eat/play/workout. We've done lots of picnics with friends and enjoy the outdoors a lot more as well. I don't feel I've "lost" life experiences, just replaced them with different ones.
I can't believe we still have to bring this up two years into this shitshow...
Being cautious isn't just about you. It's about the people around that may be nore vulnerable than you. Show solidarity, be cautious.
Still not going to indoor restaurants/bars or indoor parties or exercise rooms.
