Total nonsense. "Almost" means you have incurred at least some risk and possible contact with others who just may be carriers. Maybe 2 weeks after the last time your isolation wasn't 'almost total', this would make sense.

Nope, neither close nor prolonged contact are really necessary. Indoors, respiratory droplets may stay in the air much farther than the 6 feet recommended for social distancing. Then there's also the fact that virus particles can live for hours on surfaces you may come into contact with on the rare instances you are out & about. You also seem to discount the possiblity that others here in The Villages can't have recently been exposed & become carriers themselves. Maybe you should follow your own advice to "Get a grip"?
