It's not about aiming for zero risk though is it?
My attitude to how much I socialise and who with would be quite different if I was mid 70s rather than mid 40s. The risk of catching it is not much different (given both cohorts are triple jabbed), but the possible outcomes are quite considerably different.
I'm not surprised my 80yo parents didn't want any of their children or grand-children to visit them in person over Christmas, they're happy with the odd Zoom call until things have settled down a bit.
Interesting thought experiment. I'm not sure how I'd answer that question (for myself) or for elderly relatives, but then for them I'd rather someone tested themselves on the day and based their decision on that (plus a bit more context).
To push the question in a different direction, if you had to choose someone to go visit elderly relatives would you rather it was:-
a) A person who tested positive 10 days ago and was still testing positive on a LFD
b) A person who tested positive 10 days ago and was no longer testing positive on a LFD
