I would not be so hard on the neighbors, research indicates the virus hangs around a long time on surfaces that may have been touched while infectious:

“Research published in the Virology Journal by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, is reporting that SARS-CoV-2 can survive for as long as 28 days on surfaces such as plastic, glass, steel, vinyl, and even paper.”

Some people are very vulnerable. The vaccine is here, all this will change soon.
