I would actually do that myself. When I would need to drive my elderly mother to a medical appointment, I'd mask up my way to her home. I was doing anything I could at the time to reduce her risk of exposure. Didn't realize that anyone who might have seen me was judging me to be an idiot.

I think its just a vocabulary book for beginners. If you take the sentence from the perspective of learning a new language there are a few complexities in it.

  1. "allonge" aka extend is semi beginner word because of how verbs work in french
  2. the "n'" then "pas" is part of how a negative is presented in the language
  3. au-dela is... in french there are more specific terms for what the subject and object is and what people are pointing at/referring to.

It's constructed for pedagogic reasons.
