I am reposting below some news reports that have a counter-narrative, that stay home orders do not seem to help in controlling the spread of the virus.

Early look at data from 100 New York hospitals shows that
66% of new admissions related to the virus are people who were at home, Cuomo
said.
He also said a majority of the cases in New York City are
minorities, with nearly half being African American or Hispanic.

(My friend Cathy who lives in NYC says “I'll bet they
will find that the people "staying at home" have had exposure that is
not being accounted for in these numbers. I've been "staying at home"
but I have to go out to get food. There is a lot of exposure going on here in
New York, even without people going to work. And there are idiots ignoring the
mask rules, and probably other guidance as well.”)

With attention focused on coronavirus, undiagnosed and
untreated TB cases will cause 1.4 million to die, research suggests
Up to 6.3 million more people are predicted to develop TB
between now and 2025 and 1.4 million more people are expected to die as cases
go undiagnosed and untreated during lockdown. This will set back global efforts
to end TB by five to eight years.

(My friend Cathy commented again, "We have effective treatments for
TB. We don't have them for COVID-19. We need to slow the spread while we race
for a cure.")
Parts of Asia that
relaxed restrictions without a resurgence in coronavirus cases did these three
things

South Korea and Hong Kong successfully relaxed pandemic
restrictions without having another rise in cases by data sharing, using
targeted testing and contact tracing.
The varying results of efforts across Asia to contain the
virus and reopen society present policy options and perhaps lessons for
countries behind on the outbreak’s timeline.
Public health specialists who spoke with CNBC said
they’re not confident U.S. officials are taking note of what’s working and not
working in Asia.

Anxiety From
Reactions to Covid-19 Will Destroy At Least Seven Times More Years of Life Than
Can Be Saved by Lockdowns
By Andrew Glen, Ph.D. and James D. Agresti
May 4, 2020
Based on a broad array of scientific data, Just Facts has
computed that the anxiety created by reactions to Covid-19—such as stay-at-home
orders, business shutdowns, media exaggerations, and legitimate concerns about
the virus—will destroy at least seven times more years of human life than can
possibly be saved by lockdowns to control the spread of the disease. This
figure is a bare minimum, and the actual one is likely more than 90 times
greater.
