Unfortunately, today's open-office environments and return-to-office mandates are squeezing everyone together just like we were pre-pandemic, including multiple hour-long meetings a day with packed meeting rooms.
If just 1 person present has COVID then those become high-risk environments. And it's happened - we have a large meeting, then the next week multiple people are out sick :(
It sucks. I don't enjoy wearing a mask, I want to eat meals out and go to happy hour, I want to not have to think about the relative risk of every outing and errand. But since the world had decided COVID is not a concern anymore it's left each of us to do their own personal risk management.
I really want to see a "cure" developed to treat/prevent the damage from COVID and or for COVID to evolve into something much more mild like the flu (ha!) which doesn't cause lasting damage. Alas, it is a crapshoot as to what happens when you catch COVID, and it changes each time.
