   Keep a 10-15 foot distance from others in situations/places where crowds are a   
   potential...   
      
   to allow for things like using beaches, having funerals   
      
   ... 20-30 feet while sitting   
      
   You have a right to sit with your friends and hug them, you just don't have a   
   right to come near me or anyone else.  Offenses are offenses against   
   individuals   
   and not the government.  The government ought to be your friend, not enemy,   
   but if   
   you're being someone else's enemy, what are we and the government to do.   
      
   Negligence should be excused, intentionally coming within determined number of   
   feet is crime.   
      
   It's just violations of bodies and property.   
      
   I mean maybe it's against the people if it's against the people's property like   
   littering, but totalitarianism has gone too far.  It's unity vs. freedom and   
   there   
   have to be degrees of reason.  Truth guides between freedom and unity.  The   
   government doesn't own you.   
      
   Consider the following black letter advice:   
      
   "The Congress shall have Power To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and   
   among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes." - U.S. Constitution,   
   Article I, Section 8, Clause 3   
      
   "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or   
   prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or   
   of   
   the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition   
   the   
   Government for a redress of grievances." - U.S. Constitution, 1st Amendment
