Yep.
He seems to be contending that because risk of transmission is greatest at a later point, we need not be concerned about transmission at points prior to maximum risk. Right back down the path that led us to this point.

Kind of like a murder holding a gun to your head and telling you to pull a marble out of a bag. If it's red, he pulls the trigger, and you're dead. But then someone says "Relax! We've done a study. Only one marble in the bag is red. We know there are 100 marbles in the bag. So there's no risk at all."

If the marble had been blue the guy would've gotten health insurance.
