very very sorry to hear this. I am also from a Jewish background. My wife used to work for UJA in NYC. I am definitely not ok with some of the Jewish response to COVID.
From my point of view, political people have manipulated religious life and theology itself.
They have injected political views into the religious community.
So, I feel no obligation to obey their ideas. To my mind, their ideas directly conflict with the teachings of Moses and the Torah. And that is always consistent with common sense, caution, safety and caring.
Every single person with a major illness has some level of being immune compromised. It is just basic common sense.
I got COVID in Jan 2022. It was a nightmare. I came close to having to go to the hospital. If I went, I am confident that I would never have survived.
I am immune compromised from a variety of medical problems. I think all immune compromised people have to be cautious.
So, you are completely correct about being concerned about your husband's condition.
As far as how to resolve it? I can't see any easy solutions there.
Anyone who does not have fears in your situation, is not dealing with reality. Some level of fear is always going to exist. We are not robots.
All we can do is do our best and hope for the best.
Do take care now.

I am so frustrated and angry and makes my anxiety ten times worse because my husband is over COVID and does
Not care ! I just don’t get it ‘😢😢😢😢😢😢
