Too bad Javits and the Comfort are both contaminated now--they could have used these for temporary living quarters for essential workers.
The idea is that PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE TO TAKE THE SUBWAY SHOULD NOT TAKE THE SUBWAY, thus allowing the subway-dependent folks more room to physically distance themselves from each other.
For example, one of the FOX News medical contributors, Dr. Jeannete Neshwat, who is on the front line treating Chinese FrankenCOVID patients, keep complaining about how the subways are so crowded. I’m thinking, you’re a doctor, couldn’t you afford to take a cab or drive home or even walk home - the last one an admittedly tall order, given what De Blah Blah Blah has done to the city. Furthermore, after treating COVID patients all day, in spite of whatever precautions she takes before leaving her office or the hospital, she could still have gotten a snootful and could shed it on the subway during subsequent days before showing any symptoms.
