The phrases "lockdown" and "quarantine" are being abused, though not as badly as the horribly misused term "shelter in place". But I think we all realize that in the common vernacular of the last few months, these terms all mean you stay home most of the time, except for essential trips and jobs. They do not automatically imply never leaving the house since the vast, vast majority of people do leave their homes periodically, except for the most severe lockdowns in a select few locations. Not coming within two meters of someone outside of your household for two weeks straight is an exception, not the norm. Most people at least go to the store, but by all current definitions those people are still adhering to "lockdowns" or whatever you want to call them.
