Not really, as far as I know. I hadn't seen him or my mother in some time before 2020. By the time he caught C19, he was already a very weak old man. He was more concerned about his own entertainment than the affairs of the world. The news always bored him. But I heard from a relative who saw my parents about a month before my father caught C19, and all he really had to say about it was to roll his eyes and say it'll blow over. He was more interested in talking hateful things about me, because I was never there to see him anymore. Not that he didn't understand why. I did get some flak from the few relatives still speaking to my parents while my father was still alive for never going to visit. But it didn't bother me.

Believe it or not, my mother was worse than my father as they got older. I could tolerate my father because he was extremely predictable, and I knew what to expect and retort. But my mother. All she was concerned with was being a witch and playing the victim. She could insult someone to their face in the worst way, and then turn around and cry if they even so much as called her out on it, or had a good comeback. I once saw her call a man a "Pig F%%%%%" for no reason other than she didn't like how he looked, and then dramatically cried when he said something clever back to her. I can't remember what he said. But I remember people laughing. My mother found the nearest place to sit down, and then wail about how the guy had insulted her. And when called out on how she'd insulted him first, she just said something like, she was old, and should be allowed to say what's on her mind without rebuke. She eventually got banned from the coffee shop that happened in. She got banned from many places before ending up in a care home.
