This seems like exactly the experience in Wuhan and is why they started removing people that tested positive from their homes and putting them in isolation centers, so they wouldn't spread the virus to their families. The US is not doing that, so if one person gets the virus in a family almost all of them get it. It means that stopping the spread will be slower and take longer. Certainly the numbers from testing seem to be coming down very slowly anywhere in the US that has had a major outbreak. If US citizens won't stand for being isolated that way, maybe they'd be more amenable to staying in a hotel for free? The rooms are already empty anyway and I would think people would want to protect their families. The whole family could even move into adjacent rooms so they could at least be close to each other. Seems like many people would not have the space or ability to isolate a family member at home (doctors with training in this are having trouble keeping themselves from becoming infected), and without testing they might not know to do it anyway. It seems less likely the virus is spreading through the septic systems of buildings in enough buildings to make a big difference.

Most will get it right, but a few large ones getting it wrong are worse than a lot of people sitting in rooms in single family houses without forced air systems.
