Yeah sure, but it’s different to what you claimed originally.

To use an example:

Person A: “I saw a person arrested for licking a lollipop!”

Person B: “That person had a communicable disease and was ordered by law to isolate. They weren’t arrested for licking the lollipop.”

Person A: “Well you don’t see murderers get the same level of attention as this lollipop guy! That’s all I’m saying!”

Regardless of how you feel about enforced quarantine, the person was not arrested for licking a lollipop.
