And my buddy was a pretty hard over proponent of lockdowns, social measures and vaccines. I cut him some slack on that because he worked in a hospital, which was a daily war zone, and his wife was being treated for cancer at the time. Because he had daily exposure to covid patients (pre-vax) he had to physically segragete their house, block vent ducts, etc to keep his wife safe. They lived in the same house but in separate areas with no physical contact for almost a year.
