I live in a country and region where dengue fever is endemic. We all "live with" dengue. Nonetheless, my facilities manager is extremely careful about vector control, making sure that there is no standing water in the grounds or in the building. In the afternoon and the evening, we use mosquito repellent when we have to be outdoors. We kill mosquitoes when we see them. We live with dengue, and therefore we don't pretend it doesn't exist, and we do our best not to catch it. If a good dengue vaccine appears (there's hope for an mRNA vaccine, that might actually get all the serotypes), we will all get it.

"Living with COVID"? It should be the same for any sensible person.
