I'm somewhere in the middle, have understood the risks are mostly not for my demographic, and have gone outside to do things like get coffee / exercise almost every day since lockdown began.

Even then I'm aware we're still completely in the dark of what long term effects this might have. Do you have any worries about that? That along with the viral load research makes me pause when people are itching to just get "back to normal."

It’s in the same family as cold viruses. There’s no reason a healthy person won’t recover. If you’re at risk and get in ICU there could be long term issues but that’s a small risk for healthy people.

This is pretty reductionist and simplistic. H1N1 variants were in the same family as influenza D.

One killed 17-50 million people in two years, the other is not yet known to even infect animals.

Nope. I don't have time for (what I see as) irrational paranoia. I've judged the risk to be small enough where if that happens to me, it's OK.
