He was the owner of a two story building with two houses of two bedrooms in each floor, and had three tenants.
He was used for years to use cow's milk for his family and himself, and was not believing in buying milk and other milk products from outside. So, he used to take extreme care of his three animals, and even get the feeds for them from the city market, because such things won't be available in nearby shops, unlike for pet-foods (say dogs, and cats).
During the lockdown days and months, he wouldn't allow his tenants to go out, and even lock the gate during that period, so nobody by mistake could go out; he was too scared of Covid19 infection, and he wanted nobody in his own building should get infected.
And all his tenants strictly followed the rules.
But, he despite being so scared and being over-cautious, used to slip away clandestinely, because he used to keep the gate key with himself, and go to the market to buy the feeds for his three cattle, and any other requirements to take care of them.
And one day he contracted the disease, because his immune system was terribly affected due to over work, and being too much worried about CoViD, and being too cautious, he had mentally become very weak, and having visited the market numerous times, somewhere he would have goofed.
He was secretly quarantined in his house in the first floor, and despite the care from his family, he succumbed.
He protected his family members and all his tenants from getting the infection, but not himself.
How the fate turns your gambling cards, nobody knows.
