I really can't add much to Jim's response, but I want to emphasize this:

"Then I wish you the best of luck. Just don't give it to anyone else if
you're out and about feeling fine. Asymptomatic vectors are very real and
have spread this thing far more than the sick people have."

That's the gist of it.  Go to the CDC or the WHO or your state public
health agency for the information you need.   They will tell you that if
you /have? to go out among your neighbors, wash your hands, avoid groups,
and keep your distance.  Sure, it's a pain in the ass, but we are literally
all in this together, whether we like it or not.
