The assumption has been that New York or Lombardy is what inevitably happens to you if you don't take the strictest measures. But what if in most places, Tokyo is what happens to you? It will be really encouraging if we can figure out this baffling difference and mobilize it.

Strange - any studies on whether this beast is transmitted through other means (food, water)?

He did not say they are self isolating... they are getting from others in their home. So someone might be working or going out etc and it spreads at home.

This makes sense given the percentage of New Yorkers that live in dense apartment buildings. All it takes is an elevator button or a door handle to spread from one person out there to multiple folks “isolating” within their apartment.

That was my first thought as well. What's "not much"? I leave the house once a fortnight for groceries. I avoid peak times and wear a mask. At home everything that won't melt stays in the garage a couple days, I go straight to the shower. No takeout, no food delivery.
