Same, and my personal pandemic bubble included my nearby mom and dad; so I got to spend a year or so with my dad before dementia claimed him. The pandemic isolation did seem to kick that into high gear as he was also very immune weakened and we couldn't safely take him outside the house to interact with anyone else. Doctors on the front lines couldn't get enough (properly effective) PPE for their high risk jobs, let alone any for the elderly.
