This may be a very controversial idea. But, imagine if someone in non-covid times took a bunch of vials containing random materials, some possibly toxic and some benign, and went through a bar or food court, randomly sprinkling the contents into random unattended food or drinks.

Some people may get sick. Some may die. Some may be unaffected. Would that person be a criminal? Would they be culpable, not knowing for sure if they were exposing other people to things which might be harmful or not?
How is it different if someone goes to an event like this, with what should be full knowledge of potential exposure to a potentially lethal virus (given all the public health information made very publicly broadcast),
who then goes into the community and randomly exposes others to virus shed they may or may not have picked up at the rally?
If you knowingly open yourself to potential virus exposure and then proceed to go out and potentially pass that exposure on to others who are trying to keep safe, how culpable are you if others become infected, get sick, even die?
