I had a workmate develop a chronic illness after an infection of COVID, and he had to leave under hardship. People that hung out with him as best mates for years stopped talking to him in a matter of days.

I sent him ~~a few~~ 3 message to see how he was doing. NGL we weren't super tight before COVID, we never hung out outside of work, and people not masking around me really drove a wedge between us. I'm trying hard not to justify what happened, but who knows maybe I am a little bit.
