To those of us in TV staying home is in our house.
Ditto for locations with single family dwellings.
Staying home in NYC very well means in a multi floor, multi family apartment/condo type building.
Totally different exposure profiles.

When I heard Cuomo say that the unemployed and retired people who were hospitalized In NYC had stayed at home I laughed out loud. No one in NYC ever “stays at home.” Not really. Not in isolation. They have housekeepers, caregivers, spouses, children, and others coming in and out. They go out to exercise, walk their dog, pick up takeout, go to the grocery, pharmacy, bank, and many other instances that have remained open since they were deemed essential services. Every time they go out they touch elevator buttons, breathe shared air in elevators or stairwells, touch shared handrails, doorknobs, call buttons...city dwellers are immersed in germy stuff everywhere. They are not isolated from the minute they step outside their door, even if they were alone inside.They don’t stay home. Many don’t ever cook. Studio apartments may not even have a real kitchen. Most don’t own cars so they have to rely on rideshare, taxis, buses and subways. Cuomo thinks people stay at home just because they don’t have to go out to work. He sure imputes a lot of statistical nonsense.
