FOR SOME PEOPLE maybe. For others it is very serious and of high concern.

My PCP is very concerned about me catching it, and strongly recommends periodic testing and continued use of masks whenever I am around people in indoor settings. And social distancing in outside areas.

She doesn't get paid any more for that advice, she is in fact most interested in not seeing me any more than absolutely required. I get all my healthcare a the VA.

It is common to generalize our experiences to the general population, but it is bad advice in general to do that. Each should talk to their physician and get advice based on their person health and condition.
