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.
