Earlier in the Covid-19 pandemic, members of the gay and bisexual men’s social group Prime Timers St Louis, were “very, very worried” about Covid-19 because of underlying health conditions, said Bob Brinkman, 69, president of the group. That includes HIV, among other issues that compromised their immune systems.
But the group’s 141 members got vaccinated against Covid, he said, and in June, Prime Timers held its monthly potluck for the first time in more than two years.
