1. Many people don’t have masks. Cloth masks aren’t as effective as N95s anyway and we don’t have nearly enough N95s. New York serology survey shows FEWER health care workers have caught the virus than general population - because only health care workers have access to and training in how to use N95s, face shields, gowns and goggles.
2. Many people are still working in industries where they aren’t social distancing, e.g. all the meat packing plant outbreaks where sick employees were ordered to continue working in close proximity to their coworkers and nearly every employee in the plant got infected.
3. Positive cases are being sent home to quarantine in the same residence as their uninfected family members, who then catch the virus. Some other countries are either quarantining sick cases in the hospital, in hotels, or in monitored quarantine sites, but we haven’t been doing that in most cases and so we send home a positive case and they then infect everyone else in their home. This is worst in nursing homes but is happening in multigenerational households and other households as well. https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny-coronavirus-cuomo-coronavirus-stats-20200506-eyqui4b5lfdn7g6cqswkf6otly-story.html https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny-coronavirus-cuomo...
