As to them who venture carelessly out, and spread the joy? They’re probably not doing much in the way of prophylactic measures. They’re some of them going to get sick in the name of freedumb, and will expose others who, perhaps, have only gone out for minimal supplies and services. But don’t let that trouble you, box.

"I'm gonna do what I got to do to feed my family," he said. "If it means I got to risk my health then so be it… and yes even potentially the health of others.

If one of us is exposed, odds are all of us are exposed. That's my circle. If my 8-year-old is playing in the back yard, sees a neighbor kid and runs over before we can stop her, now their whole family is in my circle. If they had the grandparents babysit Saturday, now they're in my circle. If the grandparents went to a rally last week because Trump told them to liberate Ohio, now all of them are in my circle. Tell me again how there's no vector for my 84-year-old mother-in-law to get it? -- Drew

I agree that your list handles "most cases". But I only need one of the six people living in this house to be on the wrong side of "most" and we've all got it. -- Drew

But actually methinks that: Box's triage accords with my own evaluation, taken exactly as phrased. Except: sans your elegant, "Yes..
