The number of cases is the least interesting statistic, and almost certainly the most inaccurate. Anecdotally people who get symptoms don't bother to test because, why would you[3]? Most cases are no worse than a common cold.[4]
The really important numbers are hospitalizations, and deaths. And from a personal point of view, I'd like to know the vaccination status and comorbidity status of deaths. If you tell me some significant proportion of deaths are not-up-to-date vaccinated, or that some significant proportion have specific co-morbidities, then I can adjust (or not adjust) my behaviour accordingly.
Put another way, I'm aware of many people who have tested positive for covid [1], and been just fine. Many more who got some level of sick, but not sick enough to bother testing. It's been a while since I heard of a specific death. And I assume [2] that those who are dying are either unvacinated or have some other health condition. And thus I behave accordingly.
I feel like most people are now in the same boat - get vaccinated, or don't, its your choice. Live normally, or don't it's your choice. I'm getting on with life and around me I see others doing the same. I might catch it and die. I might get long covid. But I'm fully vaxed and boosted, so those risks are in proportion to all the other risks I take every day.
[3] tests cost money here. If you're not sick enough to even see a doctor, why spend money on a test. Just stay home like you would (should) for any cold/flu.
[4] yes, I'm aware of long covid. It's not like I'm going around licking sick people.
I'm also aware of TB, malaria, Yuppie flu, and a million other things. I'm aware of road accidents, but I still drive. Life is full of risk.
[1] I'm talking about post-vaccination time scales here, - not 2 years ago.
[2] who is dying is not being reported here. In the absence of data I assume whatever data suits my preferred naritive. I'm sure there's a group that assumes all deaths are caused by booster shots in 20 year old.
