It's not a fine line at all. There's plenty of wiggle room here. And the "best practices," the best method of risk reduction while keeping the economy flowing:
Wash your hands.
Wear a mask (properly, covering nose and mouth)
Maintain a respectful distance from others.
At this point, it's not even 6 feet. If you're wearing a mask, stay at arm's length. It's not too much to ask, it's not an unreasonable request, it doesn't infringe on 'mah freedums." Don't touch me, don't breathe on me, don't get in my space. This is something you should've been doing most of your life. It's called common courtesy. Or it used to be, until someone decided that "mah freedums" were more important.
