- amalter 7y agoLast measured antigen rate in NYC was north of 20%. My bet is almost all “essential” workers have been exposed and that part of the “herd” is immune. Who does that leave but everyone else, who are still shopping, going for walks, exercising, doing laundry in communal facilities and all the other minutiae of life that cannot be paused. I’ve seen this comment a few times and don’t see the mystery. The virus has saturated the mobile and now is finding vectors into the less mobile. This is a feature, not a bug, since the pickup rate is hopefully under the critical care capabilities.

I am exclusively inside my apt for last 8 weeks and have groceries delivered and workout on my bike trainer/zwift indoors. I feel like there should be some distinction between, 1. mostly staying indoors 2. exclusively staying indoors. If second group of people are getting it, then yea its mysterious.
- xyzzyz 7y agoIf an average person lives with two other people, it’s safe to assume that something between half and two thirds of all infections will be from people staying indoors, because people getting out will easily infect other people in their household.
