Interesting. We are in somewhat the same boat. Fully vaccinated adults with a two year old. I think where we come out is as follows.
(1) The risk to kids of COVID over the short term are clearly lower than for adults. Over the long term, it is presently unknown.
(2) It is highly likely (>90%) that we will be able to vaccinate young children by next year, so any risk reducing measures we take will be temporary. (Also, see (5).)
(3) The risk from outdoor activities and from vaccinated people are very low. Therefore, we are fine with outdoor activities masked or not and with socializing with fully vaccinated people.
(4) There are limited gains from indoor activities with unvaccinated people, so we will not bring our daughter indoors with unmasked unvaccinated people or unnecessarily indoors with people whose vaccine status is unknown.
(5) COVID prevalence here is dropping, whether for reasons of increased vaccination or otherwise. If, due to increased vaccination, those rates stay down, we can relax these restrictions.
