WFH is great, it's where I'm personally the most productive from, but unless an entire household can stay at home I think it has little effect on avoiding Covid-19.
You can be the most paranoid person, washing your hands 50 times a day, not touching anything, wearing a gas mask and what not, but when your kid comes home after touching everything at school and outside and then rubbing his/her eyes and they happen to contract the virus then everyone in the same household will eventually contract the virus. Same for your partner, flat mates, etc.
If one person gets it, everyone in a household will get it (eventually). They will cough in the house, they will touch food in the kitchen, they will decongest in the bathroom and spread germs everywhere, they will touch the remote control with their hands where they just coughed in, a keyboard, your phone, etc. etc.
I'm sure WFH will slow down the spread, which itself is good, but don't think you're immune all of a sudden because you avoid public transport to work when there's still so many avenues for the virus to enter your home.
