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.
Well, obviously the entire family can't always stay home.
If you are talking NYC, why not? They will deliver just about anything
right to your apartment there, even before the virus.
What do you mean by 'hit the stat'? If you mean the 33% who didn't catch it at
home, you're probably correct.
Of the other 33%, 24% of them were in some kind of nursing home,
assisted care or some other congregate facility. (2% homeless and 1%
inmates).
But, if the rest of the family had *not* stayed
home, I'd bet the number of cases would be dramatically higher.
Since they were highest in the country, I am not sure how much higher
it could be.
I still would have expected enough "essential workers" would be
infected to make the chart. That even surprised me. When you look at
how many people in New York are essential there should have been more
who went to the hospital.
Maybe employers imposed stricter protocols than a New Yorker would do
on his own. They do tend to be a "Fugetabout it" bunch who are not
real good at following orders.
