I think people totally don't understand the risk analysis here. I think getting covid is absolutely worth getting covid for most people. The health benefits of having friends is not being taken into account at all... ie mental health, exercise, life experiences, someone to help you when you need it, etc.
I acknowledge that my mental health is suffering because of COVID precautions I am taking. I still get plenty of exercise- more than I did pre-pandemic because I had to force some healthy physical habits on myself while working from home.
