People who are at risk should look out for themselves and avoid crowds, travel, etc., thereby bearing the brunt of the limitations
I remember the OTer bitching before Thanksgiving because his elderly parents wanted his family to mask up when they visited. Not only do people not want to take precautions, a lot of them don't want anyone else to take precautions either.

This is my issue, at least here
I've not encountered a lot of people at-risk who aren't looking out for themselves (and expecting others to do it for them), but I'm sure they're out there. Most of my older family is hunkered down and taking it very seriously but not really imposing it on others.
I have a great uncle who did the opposite, went to his favorite bar daily like always, etc. He died of COVID the week before Thanksgiving. We make our choices, I suppose (and it wasn't like he blamed anyone else).
But on here it's become a statement to take off your masks, etc. Which I frankly don't give a shite about if you're going to bars and whatnot, live your life. But don't try and make a statement at Publix at 8AM when a bunch of old people are trying to pick up some milk.

There was another who was afraid that turning away his clearly sick relatives from his Thanksgiving get-together was an unnecessary, beta move .
If you have the flu, I don't want you at my Thanksgiving dinner, much less COVID. Keep that shite to yourself.
