People are more likely to contract COVID-19 at home, study finds

Sangmi Cha, Reuters   |   Tuesday, 21 July 2020 12:23 GMT

SEOUL, July 21 (Reuters) - South Korean epidemiologists have found that people were more likely to contract the new coronavirus from members of their own households than from contacts outside the home.

A study published in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on July 16 looked in detail at 5,706 "index patients" who had tested positive for the coronavirus and more than 59,000 people who came into contact with them.

The findings showed just two out of 100 infected people had caught the virus from non-household contacts, while one in 10 had contracted the disease from their own families.

How many weeks were we told ordered to stay in our homes and not go out?

This is kind of like the fabled stat that ##% of accident happen within X miles of home. Well, that's a majority of most drivers' driving. Similarly, in a family, one person gets the infection somewhere else and brings it home where family members get the infection.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Excellent point.

Wasn't there another study done a couple months ago that came to the same conclusion?

New York State's survey in early May, I think it was, toward the tail end of their major outbreak. It concluded that 2 out of 3 infections were at home and another 1 in 6 were in group residential settings (such as nursing homes). Only 2% were from large gatherings, though those were largely nonexistent or underground at that time.

You figure, though: not only are people around members of their own families longer than anyone else, but any genetic predisposition toward the virus is going to be shared with everyone in that family. That's why the lockdown decision—which sent panicked twentysomethings that had just caught the disease and been partying for weeks prior back in with their parents so they wouldn't have to wait out the pandemic alone—was such a disaster.

Well, consider the amount of air pollution in the cities over there.
How could even a virus survive long outside in that atmosphere...?   ;)
