when you're grabbing gas station coffee for your pre-dawn bus commute to a job multiple hours away. distancing requires both time and space that you do not have. moreover it requires the social cachet to choose to be the odd man out in a peer group that has been doing high-risk close proximity labor for the entire stretch of the pandemic. this generates broader complacency since you either already got it or you're fucked anyway because if your roomie gets it you're gonna get it and if you didn't get it by now then it must not have been a big deal so why single yourself out?
