They didn’t catch it at home. They weren’t staying home. That’s the problem. Half the houses around our two subdivisions have work crews coming and going. Hey, putting up twinkle lights is essential. Those crews drive to get material so leave/pick up CV off gas pump handles. Then they go into stores for materials spreading more CV. Then they go get something to eat passing it around some more. Then they bring their kids to work and later their wives come get the kids. Then the home owners have to come out to inspect things before heading into town to buy a new pair of shoes at Wally World since the shoe store isn’t open. On the way home, they stop at the nail salon because it stays open even though the cops tell them to shut down. While the wives get their nails done, the husbands go across the street to the gambling joint which the cops also tell every day to shut down but they don’t.
And then the home owners decide to have a family reunion bringing in people from who knows where so there’s six different strains of CV all at one house. Of course, they all need to go rent boats and jet skis and go to the store for water toys. Half the reunion-ers decide the house is too crowded so they rent cabins and spread the virus to the housekeeping and the people who rent the cabins next. And they all need to shop at grocery stores for the bbq and stop at convenience stores for junk food. And, and, and.
another way this could get spread is people walking around in big city subdivisions on the sidewalk. If you are in your front yard working you are less than six feet from them in many cases. Have a person running or bicycling on that sidewalk and the germs spew.
1/2 life is a minute and half in aerosol in the sun. That is enough time for you to catch it.
I see my neighbor across the street coming and going 25 times a day, LOL. I have no idea where, because everything is closed pretty much.
That said, the things that are open, like Lowes, nearly a full parking lot every time I drive by. Walgreens? Same story.
I don't know what kind of idiot wants to be in a pharmacy right now but I digress.
