Wouldn't it be better to just accept that there is a contagious and ever mutating virus going around and that if you go into crowded places like concerts, sporting events, cruises, etc - you accept the risk of doing so?
I've had the most recent variation of Covid and my symptoms were so mild that I thought it was seasonal allergies. It was basically a head cold. Most of the people that I know who have had it have experienced the same sort of thing. It's when it starts to go into your chest that you should get yourself into a doctor.

The natural history of these viral pandemics is that the strains tend to become more contagious but less virulent and eventually fade away or turn into something much more benign. Many of our seasonal flu strains are direct descendants of the Spanish flu of 1918-19, and about 10-15% of "common cold" viruses are coronaviruses. Let's hope that is the case with COVID
