i re-read the excerpt. i did see the asymptomatic caveat but i find it difficult to figure out why that should make a difference during a pandemic shelter in place such as currently exists in my state (california).
maybe dr. fauci is addressing the more general case, such as the future, or states that have no order

as of april 6, 8 states have no shelter in place order:
ND, WY, SD, IA, UT, NE, AR, OK.
so... i wonder if it would be correct to posit that dr. fauci’s statement is not in conflict with approximately 8 states emergency orders.
still that leaves the president’s 30 day recommendation.

“Avoid discretionary travel, shopping trips, and social visits.”
So perhaps dr. fauci’s view is that social visits do not include casual sex with strangers? and that his comments also implicitly do not apply in 42 states?
dr. birx:
“... if it saves just one life...”
dr. fauci:
“... except if it gets you off just one time ...”
who are we supposed to be “sheltering in place” with anyways?
i believe the definition of significant others loosely applied is being used, at least in age groups considered sexually active.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=significant%20other
“Your mate, spouse, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, steady and/or lover. Used when you don’t want to be too specific, or when the details are nobody’s business.”
First, do i have everything correct so far? I have not bothered to consider it very closely up until now.
If not, then how have i erred? If so, can a person found on Tinder (or Grindr or other variant) considered a “significant other” (perhaps so...)?
