Legends.

It's cringey there are people on this forum who still aren't getting it, faced with overwhelming evidence. Not to mention wheeling out sound bites like "flatten the curve".

A large JAMA meta-analysis of 54 studies with close to 80,000 participants found that the risk of virus transmission in households is 18% for symptomatic individuals but only 0.7% for truly asymptomatic individuals.

Household Transmission of SARS-CoV-2: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis | Global Health | JAMA Network Open | JAMA Network

"Households are favorable environments for transmission. They are what are known as 3Cs environments, as they are closed spaces, where family members may crowd and be in close contact with conversation.94 There may be reduced use of personal protective equipment relative to other settings."

"Spouses were at higher risk than other family contacts, which may explain why the secondary attack rate was higher in households with 1 vs 3 or greater contacts. Spouse relationship to the index case was also a significant risk factor observed in studies of SARS-CoV and H1N1.82,95 This may reflect intimacy, sleeping in the same room, or longer or more direct exposure to index cases. Further investigation is required to determine whether sexual contact is a transmission route. Although not directly assessed, household crowding (eg, number of people per room) may be more important for SARS-CoV-2 transmission than the total number of people per household, as has been demonstrated for influenza.96-98"

It’s like they are trolling us at this point, let’s see if we can stop them having sex.
