I've used credit unions that managed to have worse UIs than Citizens Bank. Can't say I've used Citibank though. Ally seems to have it figured out pretty well, which they kind of have to.

People who don't give a hoot about the rules are more prone to be spreaders anyway. After medical staff, we have the prioritization of who should get vaccinated completely inverted.

It's probably an 80:20 problem of sorts. More like a 99:1. Externally, people mostly appear to be comprised of flesh and hair. Pick any random square inch and the odds are that you will land on flesh or hair. That gets different on eye
