Friends of ours had this last year, really bad. We had to drop something off to them, and we stood outside talking (no physical contact) about 10' apart. Nobody got it in my family. So I can confirm that this is one of those "touch only" things. Luckily, that makes it easier to avoid. Don't touch other people and wash your hands.
I wonder if isolating for so long has dulled people's immune response to these relatively common viruses?

I think this is definitely a factor in households with small children -- a lot of kids going into daycare, preschool, and kindergarten this last fall have had so little exposure to other people.
So you have environments that are already known to be a massive vectors for communicable disease, and a bunch of little people who've never been exposed to common illnesses. Combine that with parents who may have also been heavily isolated for the last few years?
