Out of curiosity, what are people's risk tolerances like these days?
Relatively high, given circumstances.
Everyone in the household is vacc x2 + boost, save the exchange student who (at the time) was vacc x2. Predictably, he brought Covid home from school or athletics. He passed it to the Baroness, and the two of them had a week in bed. Son and I didn't catch it, which I was a little surprised by, but I went into "hospital mode" as far as interactions went, including otherwise pathologic handwashing. We have cloth masks, but my wife is a pro seamstress and they haven't failed us yet.
Recently we started eating out on occasion, that hasn't felt dangerous as previous. The places we do eat at have sufficient distance between seated parties. We wear masks otherwise within buildings and usually not while outside.
We are gaming face to face. There are two other households, one is a friend of my son's who is vacc x2 + boost. I think his parents are, too, but they got sick with Covid a little while ago. He did not. After the prescribed time he rejoined us. The other family is a family of four + exchange student. The ES caught Covid; his symptoms were pretty mild. All of them are vacc x2 + boost, except, again, the ES who was vacc x2. The mom's a nurse, and no one else in their household became ill.
I've been pretty concerned that I would end up bringing it home from the hospital. So far, however, I've avoided that.
But, my hands... my poor hands...
