But, dang, get yourself out of there.

Talk to the boss about switching cubicles, explain why, take the article about the 7 stages of COVID in. If the boss reacts badly, tell them you value your life over any job.

I don't know how much this job pays - or what you are capable of - but there are national companies that at least require employees to behave well, even in areas where the population doesn't. (Starbucks is one - my daughter works there - they take COVID very seriously - but it is fast paced and on your feet all day.)
