Remove the right wing - left wing interpretation, and this is not "shocking" or groundbreaking.
1) The vast majority of the population is now in the "largely staying at home" category, so it's logical that a high number of the cases would result from that category. Note they were grouped in the study as largely staying at home.
2) Since those largely staying at home are still going out periodically (food, medicine, etc.) many will be taking public transit and shopping in very confined spaces, where studies have proven it to spread most readily.
3) Just because someone is "staying at home" doesn't mean that someone else in their home is not commuting regularly, and thus bringing the virus home.
This article is not an indictment against staying at home, nor does it vindicate public transit, as I have seen it interpreted.
I file this article in the "thanks Captain Obvious" bin. This is one of the drawbacks of living in crammed quarters like New York.
