They were already at negative social distance before this started.
I doubt there are any germs they weren’t already sharing.
There are many single people who live across town from or in another town from their significant other. They have not seen each other in weeks because they are afraid of getting the virus from the other because anyone could theoretically pick up the virus anytime just from having to go out and grocery shop.
I personally do not subscribe to this view; I see my S.O.
But someone in this doctor’s position, having espoused the views he has, should not be in my “camp” but in the first camp I mentioned. And his paramour, knowing the views he has publicly expressed, should wonder why he thinks it is safe for them to get together.
