All of those essential workers venture out every day and spend their
whole day face to face with the public, yet it was the ones who stayed
home who ended up in the hospital in far greater numbers. I see 3
possibilities.
1. They got infected in their apartment building because they were not
following the sanitary protocols.
2. They were infected by the delivery people.
3. They lied and they didn't stay home.
I suppose it is also possible that they had other visitors who brought
them the virus too.
You failed to list 'family members' who returned from the outside - either
working or shopping or whatever. Do you think the wife and kids should isolate
themselves from dad any time he comes home? Give me a break!
Perhaps but I assumed when they said "stayed home" they meant the
family stayed home. Even so, the infected member who didn't stay home
should have hit the stat.
