the fact that stay at home does not explain differences in death rates does not exclude that reduction of contacts (at work, social life etc.) doesn't explain it either. In other words, it may be enough to just "avoid people" a bit more than usual to bring down infections, instead of self-isolating at home.
- ghaff 6y agoMy (deep blue) state has never had real "stay at home"/lockdown orders. But indoor dining/bars were shut down, many/most offices were closed, people were masking (at least indoors), distancing, mostly not going to stores more than necessary, etc. So just because people weren't in "lockdown" behavior was nothing like normal.
- mortehu 6y agoYes, even NYC didn't force people to stay inside, but drastically expanded outdoor dining, closed down streets in neighborhoods without parks so people can walk outside, and has kept playgrounds open since June 22nd.
