I agree it would be difficult to prove that they caught it at work, but saying they can catch it as easily at home just sounds like 'reopen' rhetoric to me.

  I think it's best to look at individual facts and claims as they are, without reference to their attachment to some political side or movement. It frees your mind so you can more easily think for yourself.

    Alright, without any evidence to back it up there is no reason to believe that you are likely to catch covid at home as anywhere else. Edit: I don't even understand why there are 'political sides or movements' to this in the US. I am in Australia where there has been broad cooperation between politicians and people of different political beliefs. It hasn't been perfect of course but for the most part we have been listening to the medical and scientific experts.

      The evidence to back it up is there though. The majority (in fact 66%) of new COVID-19 hospitalizations in New York state recently have been people who have been staying inside their home. Based on data from a sample of 1,000 patients at 100 hospitals. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/ny-gov-cuomo-says-its-shocking-most-new-coronavirus-hospitalizations-are-people-staying-home.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/ny-gov-cuomo-says-its-shocki...

        Interesting, but it's not enough to come to a general conclusion. Without understanding what the mechanism of infection was you can't say that's how it works for everyone, everywhere. Are we seeing this anywhere else? We're not seeing it here in Australia.
