[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same here.  All our neighbors are outside playing with different families.

I think people basically waited 2 weeks, and assuming no one from either family got sick, they're in the clear.[/quote]

Oh yeah, everyone assumes that if you have been isolated 2 weeks and no symptoms you are all post quarantine so can come together.

However, I seriously doubt all those families literally stayed in their homes for two weeks with no grocery shopping, no packages, and no close approaches on walks — which when you aggregate all their risks together and then merge by socializing, the virus spreads. [/quote]

Plus people don't tell you everything. 2 weeks ago was right around the weekend of the 15-16th when lots of people weren't taking this seriously or saying -- oh it's our last time to have fun before we're locked down and WFH with kids home for a long time. So who went out to dinner that weekend or a family birthday party where their cousin from NY came down with her family? Who decided on the weekend of the 21st that oh seeing the cherry blossoms is NBD, it's outdoors. I mean unless you have a diary of these people's movements then 2 weeks means nothing -- bc how many times have they gone grocery shopping or had groceries or takeout delivered since then or gone running on a trail that's packed or whatever. You're right, they're wrong.[/quote]
