Miller admitted that people came over to his house. I don't think everyone really understands that social distancing means no visitors at all.

I think they understand it. However, it has been a long time since our society was "rules based". Most people seem to believe that they get to decide on a case-by-case basis and a moment-to-moment basis whether a given"rule" really applies to them. The idea that ones personnel opinion just doesn't matter and you do what you are told just doesn't resonate.

I'm still waiting for someone to report on the harm caused by Miller contracting the disease.  As far as I can tell, it's a net good thing.  He is fine, and check one person off for future "herd immunity" to the extent there is any down the road.  

And remember the party Dak Prescott threw?  I just can't get that worked up about younger adults knowingly taking that risk.  Does it increase the overall risk of virus spread?  Yes.  Has there been any reporting to this effect?  Is the Dallas area a hot spot where slight upticks in infections can overrun hospitals?  Haven't seen anything to that effect, either.

And hypothetically, let's just say 5 people got it at the party - had some symptoms but didn't require hospitalization - and didn't spread it beyond that (most of invitees were single adults, at least that's my impression).  Again, that's a societal net positive . . . isn't it?
