Quarantiners Urged to Dress Before Answering Door

If it's for a stranger, it borders on exhibitionism, and I don't think being an exhibitionist is the modus operandi of anyone on these damn forums.

Keyword here is borders. If you deliberately undress for the sake of answering the door, it is exhibitionism (but still I see no wrong with that, but that is arguing from an individualist viewpoint, not from a naturist one); but if you are already undressed in the first place, while exhibitionism may still be involved, it might just as well be indifference.
Borter:
I think it is interesting - I'm wondering if nobody is afraid that the police would give a penalty if he opens the door nude?
Also I don't see the problem to put on some clothes if somebody rings on the door - I don't think this takes too much time, and would prevent that the visitor feels uncomfortable.

It's still deliberate regardless of whether or not you were already undressed. You knew to get dressed before answering that door, you chose not to. It usually won't go well if you open a door for a stranger, especially if that stranger is an authority figure. There's privilege reasons for most of that. Maybe you can't relate (to a frightening degree) because you're not in America...but yeah, if I did that, it definitely wouldn't go well. Might literally be the death of me.
Delta:
Of course it would not go well. Does not change the fact that they deserve (though probably would not get, at least in meaningful quantity, since they are the majority) for demanding you conform to their sensitivities when it was them who decided to come to your place. Your point is a practical one, an argument of "advisable/inadvisable". "Right/wrong" on the other hand is a domain of moral philosophy. Something may be the right thing to do but still be a bad idea, like assassinating a dictator, or a good idea despite being wrong, like the tax avoidance schemes of pretty much every major company.
Granted, the particular situation of deliverypeople is a bit more complex in that they are there because you are requesting a service, so it is not that they are unsolicited visitors who deserve no courtesy. Does not change the fact that pandering to the easily-offended on principle is a slippery slope that leads to less, rather than more free expression, but one could make a case for trying to arrange a no-contact delivery or at least giving advance warning if you just cannot be arsed to dress.
Longingtobenude:
If someone comes to your home, they should be willing to accept however you are dressed. Especially any agent of the state, who comes uninvited. I don't care if its a nudist answering the door nude, or an exhibitionist answering the door with a strap on and someone on a leash.
Should consideration be given to what people don't want to see, when they come up to someones door? Sure, but that is the prerogative of the people living there.
