My hope is that each future mutation will be milder than the last. I am currently self-isolating as my country is hammered with cases, until I can get my booster. After that, I will continue being careful and avoiding crowded places, but will have passed my threshold of _high_ worry about catching COVID myself. Eventually, I suspect we'll have annual boosters for milder variants, but the disease itself will hopefully not be as concerning or impactful as it currently is.
