855: Making Things Worse?

I have seen behaviour with much better excuse than this virus thing, as supporting the identity establishment thing to which I keep referring. While I do not want to discuss that here, because of that view I still want to question the physical health wisdom of what is going on now. First, how sure the policy makers and their medical advisers that staying home is the best way against the spread of this virus? Unless you are talking about kids and how they may not restrain themselves from invading the personal space of each other, how often do infections come from strangers outside? On the other hand, it seems that the most occurrences for transfer of infections happen within the family and transfer from one family to another through shared members. If so, then doesn't that suggest that when people are encouraged to stay home we are empowering that potential?
The other thing I want to talk about is the amount of "disinfecting" that seems to be going on. In some cases the moist environment of that "disinfecting" process could be itself a medium for transferring microbes.
