This is one the reasons why there were so many nursing home deaths in blue states. By transferring infected people into them on purpose, Blue State Governors basically poured gasoline into the building and lit a match

Larry David wasn't speaking to old people but on their behalf; he mentioned them directly, not excluding himself, as being particularly vulnerable.
However, this is from your own link...

What are the implications for public health practice?
Household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is common and occurs early after illness onset. Persons should self-isolate immediately at the onset of COVID-like symptoms, at the time of testing as a result of a high risk exposure, or at time of a positive test result, whichever comes first. All household members, including the index case, should wear masks within shared spaces in the household.

It is not a question of families being in the same household, but their habits within the rooms and heavily trafficked areas, such as door/hallways. This ties in with the point made earlier about public spaces and maintaining one's distance, both being influenced by personal habits and culture.

Improved understanding of transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), within households could aid control measures.

Because prompt isolation of persons with COVID-19 can reduce household transmission, persons who suspect that they might have COVID-19 should isolate, stay at home, and use a separate bedroom and bathroom if feasible.

Concurrently, all household members, including the index patient, should start wearing a mask in the home, particularly in shared spaces where appropriate distancing is not possible.

And to add onto the point the CDC was making...

We found the relationship between livestock plants and COVID-19 transmission to be most pronounced among the largest plants, whose presence in a county is associated with a 35% higher COVID-19 case rate relative to the average coefficient for livestock plants shown in Table 1. Small and medium-sized plants were generally not found to have significant relationships with local COVID-19 transmission, suggesting that the scale of production is an important variable for industry leaders and policymakers to consider.
