That too. Imagine you get sick and a doctor, to get an idea for who might have been affected, asks you where you were in the 5 days before you got symptoms.

a) I was at home, only went to the grocery store once.
b) I went X, Y, Z, A, B, C, hung out with these people, those people, took public transit to all of those places and went to visit my grandma

what's worse?
