Worse yet in NY 66% of recent covid cases happened AT HOME.
Don I think you are misinterpreting the significance of this. Of course everybody who caught it at home caught it from somebody else in the household who went out and contracted it. The significance of this data is that in China, people who were sick with Covid but not sick enough to require the hospital were quarantined in facilities designed for them, to reduce the risk of them infecting family members at home. We chose not to do this in the U.S. and as a result, transmission to family members in the same household has been a problem. This has nothing to do with the safety - or lack of it- of going outside. I suspect you, and most Americans, would have been highly resistant to being forcibly quarantined away from your family once infected, but this WAS a highly effective strategy in Wuhan. Without it, and without proper PPE and training of family members, spread in households has become a major problem. (Even Chris Cuomo, who was quarantining in his basement, managed to infect his wife.)
