[quote=Anonymous]OP, as others have suggested you need to seek out a new friend group. The position of your current group of friends and a few of the posters here is in no way representative of the current norms. It’s a relatively small (and fairly self selecting group) that have both the level of risk aversion and financial stability necessary to essentially withdraw from society for 7+ months or interact with only one or two other families. Within these parameters it seems like there are pockets of individuals who thrive on the martyr complex and feed off of each other (and media clickbait) to try to push a zero tolerance (and wildly disproportionate risk assessment ) narrative for any level of risk related to COVID exposure.

My DH and I have both been back to work in person since June and many others in our circle have as well. We also send our children to childcare centers, regularly socialize in small groups (mostly but not exclusively outdoors), frequent playgrounds and outdoor events/ venues, and dine at restaurants, as do pretty much all of my friends and work colleagues.  Judging from our experiences and the large number of families at these venues you should not have a problem finding other moms willing to socialize in the area. Maybe try networking through your husband’s work colleagues, online  moms groups or as others have suggested just going to playgrounds and other kids venues.
