(If the coffee shop had been a week ago, sure, I’d be inflicting some of those microCOVIDs on my fellow partygoers, which, sure, could be decision-relevant, I haven’t done the math; but it seems very unlikely to me that I’ll become a full-fledged germ factory between this morning and this evening, so I think that consideration is insignificant in this case.)
Between morning and evening seems negligible indeed, but it’s worth noting that the Delta variant has a much shorter incubation period. There are cases where it takes only about 24h for people to infect others.
Yes, agreed! An earlier draft had the exposure happening “yesterday” instead of “this morning,” but, yeah, I wanted to make it clearer-cut in the face of the reports I’ve heard that Delta has very short incubation periods some nonzero fraction of the time.
