Hey, I'm Arth. I'm the co-founder of a startup actually solving this called ConnectDome[dot]com. It's like super-charged Lunchclub but for developers with tools that make the whole process of what you described in your post easier. We are releasing a major update pretty soon and since it's developer-only, I might be posting a Show HN for it soon as well, you should try it ig, I could always work on feedback from more…

Except for the “no Covid” part…
Turn off your TV, delete your reddit account and covid goes away.

Genuine question, how is there normal life + no COVID there? I’m Australian (but stranded abroad) and thought we’d now run out of countries without it.
Also, spending time in basically any ‘red’ state in the USA can get you the same result. We’ve been living life as usual, almost no restrictions, since at least April of 2021. It’s nice, and believe it or not, the sky is in fact not falling. It’s not as hard as ‘they’ would like you to believe, to be smart & stay safe, while also leading a normal life.
Online meetups. One video chat with voice = 200 smart comments on IRC (that was the old slack) Go to meetup and sign up for whatever topics you are interested in. Almost all the meetings are going to be on zoom these days.

My mom lives in a red state (SC) and works at a hospital... they're going to have to call in the National Guard because of all of the covid cases. If you get in a car crash, good luck getting into the emergency room.
Out of the box suggestion: I moved to Taipei. There’s no COVID here so besides the 2-3 month lockdown last year I’ve been able to go to many in-person meetups like normal. Virtual is _fine_ but for my personality meeting in person is still my preferred way by far. I can’t recommend moving here enough to anyone who needs a place to live a normal life and wait out COVID.

For context, I believe covid has killed more Americans than anything else in your history (though I haven't been able to confirm that, most wartime figures are estimates).
That doesn't mean lock down and mask up but surely doing nothing is equally bad? Just seems like covid has become political theater and it gets minimized somewhat as a result
