I think you skipped over “to me” before your quoted text. This tells me they might have some personal reason for their aversion besides aversion itself that makes total sense. Maybe they are a diabetic, cancer survivor, organ donor recipient, or have some other immune-related condition. I’m not a particularly social person and I know plenty of friends I haven’t been able to see without extra precautions because of this. Collectively the number of folks who are vulnerable to Covid from a pre-existing condition is a fairly significant size of the population. Maybe consider this?

The elephant in the room is that many people are vulnerable because they suffer from obesity. One third of the population is obese and another one third is overweight. That’s two thirds of the population who could be significantly healthier if they shed their weight. I feel that as a society we have moved on from solving that problem and we now treat it as a cost of living, but it’s an enormous dead weight on society. We all look around for every little thing we can do to reduce our risk of getting sick but we’re collectively unable to eat less. It’s like bandaging up someone who got hit by a train.

Thank you. People do no know everybody's situation, and those who come in here saying things like "COVID isn't a big deal" do not know everybody's story.
