> Articles like this really need to describe some sort of policy or plan for the 7 million or so immunocompromised people in America.

Wear good masks, social distance, etc. Basically do everything that's recommended to prevent the spread of covid, besides getting a vaccine. As a bonus, doing these things will help keep them safe from a large number of other airborne illnesses that put them at risk.

Plus, there has been an increased awareness about preventing the spread of airborne diseases in general. Lots of stores and businesses have installed filtration systems that help keep everyone safer. Contactless delivery / checkout is much more mainstream, and it's now socially acceptable & legal to wear a mask, which is something certain people are going to continue to do. So while it has certainly been a nightmare for immunocompromised people, some positive changes have also resulted.
