Get a fully sealing silicone respirator (3M style, no outlet vent, with P100 disc filters), shave if you have facial hair, and don't take the mask off. This is the only way to do airplane things somewhat safely
In terms of visiting relatives, you can make it safe by meeting outdoors and wearing a mask (a normal one) when hugging, etc. For hanging out indoors, you're SOL for making that safe outside of the silicone respirator option.
Given that public health is individualistic and not working, the only "safe bet" is to keep acting like this until the virus becomes less deadly, which can be any number of years, probably not more than a decade. Yes, that's grim. There may be lulls where you can be more lax as well.

I have no idea what any of this means. How does one find a respirator like this?
