Especially since we've no idea how endemic the virus is - the rate of 'Community Transmission' in known cases suggests it's massive.
1/4 cases is a healthcare worker. Only a few of them caught it in the course of their duties - most got it outside the hospital. They're overrepresented because they're overtested.
That's definitely been part of the problem... the benefit to certain cases of quarantine is that you actually know when you're getting back out. This hasn't been that case, which makes the "ants in the pants" sensation that much worse. We could even do "safer at home" and then find ourselves back in "stay at home" within two weeks for a much longer period of time, or it could be the exact opposite and finding that either everyone who's going to get sick already has, or that there's so little of it out there now that the R0 is well under 1. Or anywhere in between.
