I mean, we have very little context here. But how I currently read it I'll have to agree with the "No". If you go to a party then you'll obviously run the risk of getting ill with COVID or something else like the flu, but at the moment you run that risk pretty much everywhere. COVID, the flu, and the other viruses are no longer a threat to any functioning health system. They're still a threat to many individuals, but that in and of itself is not reason to stop living your life. At some point we've concluded that the pandemic is over and the risk is no longer big enough to stop living our life. And that unfortunately means that some immunocompromised people run a big risk, but we can't stop enjoying our lifes forever or protect a few people.

Quarantining after you get sick is not "stop living life", it's a week or two of staying inside while you're still transmissible. It's not too much to ask.

Am I missing some context for the original post? The above commenter didn't say anything about getting sick and going out, I read the comment as being about going out in general.
