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."
