Those officers might then have gone home to partners who were also going out to essential work. It goes on.

And social distancing does not eliminate transmission. It merely reduces it. Social distancing outside in a breezy, ultra violet rich environment is very effective. Over a prolonged period in an enclosed space with limited ventilation, it is much less effective..
I think the concept of social distancing has completely gone out of the window here in just about every city, large and small, with what's been happening the past week. Looters don't seem too concerned at keeping 2m apart although at least they are mostly wearing masks.
