Even if they know someone who got sick or died, they still qualify it with "well, they were elderly or they had health conditions" as if throwing those people to the wolves is just fine.

I was told we have at least a year. If anything, exposure to small doses of virus would bolster your immunity. I am also 6 months out from first dose.
