I work with elderly people mostly so the absolute terror was probably magnified for me. Regardless of their politics, they knew they were the most vulnerable and it scared the shit out of them.
One of the groups that doesn't get talked about often in regards to COVID is the reaction of the gay community, especially the older ones who lived through the worst days of the AIDS epidemic. They took it VERY seriously.
Gay bars are so great. I'm straight but I used to go with several of my gay friends. I've never been hit on by more women than at gay bars lol.
