Glad you got such a mild dose, hope everyone gets better really quickly.

I guess it comes to a cost/benefit analysis for everyone... is going to a party or two worth leaving your children without a parent?  A friend at work said his entire extended family in Alabama got Covid. His brother and sister-in-law still aren't better a year later (super exhausted all the time) and his cousin died at 45 years old leaving 3 kids and her husband behind... and none of them still haven't gotten any shots.

Personally though, I don't think it's about hiding... just being sensible with shots, masks, washing hands and deciding what events are worth it, etc.  I do think that, unfortunately, pretty much everyone in the US will get it at some point.
