Some googling did not yield a source for "Had his family issue threats of at least symbolic physical violence". Can you provide a link?
The closest I got was this:
"I have no idea what's going on, they're holding my son captive for five hours," Srdan told local Serbian radio station B92. "This is a fight for the libertarian world, this is not just a fight for Novak, but a fight for the whole world! "If they don't let him go in half an hour, we will gather on the street, this is a fight for everyone."

If that is all there is, I don't think it is accurately described as "Had his family issue threats of at least symbolic physical violence."
And if someone is feeling in the mood, is there a link for 6 as well? 5 minutes of googling yielded irresponsible behavior around his claimed positive test, but nothing about the french open.
The metaphor discussion reminded me of Cat Coupling[1], "where it’s unclear whether an attribute is meant as justifiably picking out a subset, or unjustifiably describing the whole, and as a result strengthening the connection between the concept and the attribute." E.g. "the only ones that will lose out are rich bosses": are all bosses rich, or will the non-rich bosses excluded? Nerst argues that such a phrase leverages the ambiguity to be more powerful.
Another way the metaphor struggles is that usually we don't disagree if it's raining. In November, was a supermarket a high risk setting?
I would say mocking the wet people isn't the problem. The externality of infection, mean that the pro-umbrella crowd believe they are being made wet by the non-umbrella crowd.
So the two problems with the metaphor:

I do realize this is not a practical solution for ‘the public,’ it’s too complicated on several levels, but it’s not too complicated for you if you are reading this and worried about maintaining protection and also worried about the cost of continuous booster shots.
Is there a feasible way for me to measure my antibody level?

NIH Director Francis Collins claimed he misspoke, and tweeted to clarify.
Let me clarify the masking message that I garbled on @NewDay this morning. Vaccinated parents who live in communities with high COVID transmission rates should mask when out in public indoor settings to minimize risks to their unvaccinated kids. No need to mask at home.

Not sure how to feel about the poor communication, but propagating the followup, I think.
What type of pump do you use?
I was having trouble getting an extension on my bike pump that would work.
I started thinking about how how 3d-print something that would reach in and make it free flow.* Perhaps such a device would help your issue.

In the one-shot, produced only one intriguing miscommunication,

* American: "Man, I was so pissed last night when I realized I left my wallet at the restaurant." (Meaning: Very angry/annoyed.)
* Brit: "Really? You seemed fine when you left! How much did you have to drink to get that pissed?" (Meaning: Very drunk.)
