AA, I really hope a day arrives where you and I get to hang out and cause a little trouble.
I had a somewhat similar (in terms of demoralizing C19 anecdotes) last Saturday. I have a fair amount of travel and executive meetings coming up in February so figured I'd better get a hair cut and look slightly more presentable (My wife always prefers my hair longer, so I'll grow it out as long as I can if I go a couple months in between customer or executive meetings).
Went down to the local/cheap chop shop and a young gay man guided me to the barber chair. Nice kid, probably 25 and did a good job with my hair. He was very chatty which was fine.
He was sharing a rather tragic anecdote about not being able to see a dying friend during the peak of the C19 insanity. They key bit was him saying: "And it was ridiculous, I got the vaccine. You CAN'T get covid if you've had the vaccine so what are they worried about?", without a trace of irony.
My normal reaction in these situations is to try to find a gentle way of trying to create a bit of logical doubt, but his statement was so certain, so devoid of any doubt, I didn't say a thing.
It's easy for me to forget sometimes just how many people are unknowingly isolated from reality.
Save some of that wine for me if you don't mind ; )
There's some Aldi wines from Oregon and Germany that don't contain sulfites and are about $10, mostly I use it in the crock pot to cook a roast with potatoes, but yesterday I indulged and ended up tired and hungry.

"and ended up tired and hungry."
Story of my damn life.
