Unemployment rates and baseline economic indicators say that yes,the vast majority of people have fundamentally altered their lives to address this.
'Multiple examples per day' is nothing resembling the hundreds of conferences involving thousands of attendees or dozens of sporting events involving tens of thousands of spectators every day.
If what we've done isnt enough, then there was never 'an answer' to be found.
We've done a shitload but for some, nothing will be. If only because their expectations were unreasonable to begin with.
It's a novel virus that attacks people's lungs. A bunch of people are going to die. That was simply inevitable.
