Okay but the comment above said "hard evidence of a negative outcome", not "hard evidence [that he transmitted]".

If they did have evidence of negative outcomes, I think they'd do more than use the word "potential" when talking about harm to life and property.

You can get also get large speeding fines or go to jail for DUI without the "potential" for harm to life and property.
I'm not talking about the reasonableness of the fine. Does my post need a disclaimer?
Clearly, if you need to be so aggressively defensive about it.
That's so aggressive? What would the non-aggressive version be that still makes the important point?

I was aiming for a basic simple assertive, avoiding being overly passive-aggressive. The question in that post is not rhetorical.
