"House parties" may be a major contributor, but I will remind people that less than half those in SCC who get COVID are identifying known contact with COVID cases.   Surely if say 3 people get the disease at a "house party", they will know of their contact with the others, and are likely close enough friends or relatives that the people subsequent to the first to get it will know about the others, either before or after they realize they are sick.

Not if those people don't tell the people trying to do the contact tracing about the party. As far as the contact tracers know, they have nothing in common. MT, you persist in attributing the lack of a known contact chain in SCC to some unknown mystery factor. You could be correct, but the fact so many people are listed as showing no contacts is not credible. I think one has to entertain the idea that they are simply not cooperating. We know from previous statements that cooperation was lacking in San Mateo county. I think it very probable it is a factor in Santa Clara County too.
