What has made things easier for us in this regard is moving from Tampa, FL, to small town Nova Scotia last summer. Here, we feel like we can just kind of go with the flow because our government seems to make sensible public health decisions. In Florida, it certainly did not feel that way.
So DD (6) has been in face to face school all year, with the exception of May when we tightened up restrictions due to a spike. Summer camps are on, and she'll be doing them, but we're still encouraged to just have 1 family member in stores so we don't take her shopping. She's done a bunch of play dates and stuff with one other family at a time, but not during the May lockdown. It's been great to not really have to think about it -- we just follow the guidance, because it's reasonable. In Tampa, there was so much conflict (between the city and the state, between the political persuasions, etc.). It felt like it really rested on the individual to figure out the right thing to do (which is pretty unreasonable, IMHO, as I'm no expert on communicable diseases). Like with our neighborhood school -- parents had to choose if they were going face to face or virtual. When we left (July 2020) loads of stuff were re-opening (theme parks, indoor trampoline parks, etc.) so each individual has to decide whether or not it's right for them. Even where I used to work (a large public university) the fall re-opening plan (despite having had ~16 months to figure it out) is a complete mess because they're being torn apart by the position of the governor (where COVID basically ended in May 2020) and the university's own public health department (which recognizes that just 50% of FL has received 1 vaccine dose and there is a 7% positive rate around the university).
It's really nice being in a place where it seems like public health decisions are being driven by sensible people. Of course, they aren't perfect and I'm sure in hindsight people might have done things differently, but that's true of anything. In Florida, I felt like a lot of people were making bad faith arguments, and I find that pretty intolerable. That being said, some folks here are more cautious than we are (for example, not letting their kids ride the bus to school) but we've been very comfortable with the official recommendations.
