I guess in a vacuum and as a general statement, your post makes sense. It makes zero sense in real life applications, however.
It's virtually impossible to mitigate the spread of the virus at home. This is why you want to stop it from making it there to begin with.
I can't believe I actually have to type that.

Ideally, yes. You stop it from ever getting in there.
With where we were and are, thats not possible. Because of transmission dynamics of this thing, to outrun the lag times, you're gonna have to isolate people from their families and such if you really want to mitigate it or truly suppress it. It's public health 101, which is why the WHO initially recommended it.
Public health has to weigh all aspects of this thing though. It's not feasible here like it is in say China for obvious reasons though.
Again, we're forced to deal with the hand we are being dealt here. It's a tightrope.
