... <sorry>  ... keeping strong "cells" or "cliques" or "islands" with
very limited out-group contact is more important than *everyone* keeping
6' distance, washing their hands, covering their face, etc.   I have
several "cliques" in my social circle which I have very limited
in-person contact, and each one has a very different level of
in-group-hygiene.   At least one is a very "leaky" cell... with one
member who simply doesn't take the whole thing seriously.  I avoid
direct contact with her and her space, but I do have very infrequent
(once a week or less) contact (with 6' distance for short periods
without much exchange of objects) with her 80+ year old husband who I
know to be *much* more careful and perhaps much more likely to become
symptomatic more quickly if *she* does bring him some Corona?
