Somebody did a study on a large high school and the social graph for its seniors having sex with each other.
Anybody who has seen the resulting connection graph -- where the great majority of the students having sex doing so with one or two partners and yet half of the school population is in one tree -- knows just how effective "close social circle" won't be in constraining spread of the disease.
So, you're right, in that we need to change our habits. But actual spread prevention for anything indoors is going to take fundamental process changes.
(And the "reduced chance of transmission out doors" is reduced, not eliminated; it may have more to do with the UV component of sunlight than anything else. I suspect we're going to have a spreading incident at an outdoor hockey game this winter sometime.)
