This is what is really unnerving Wall St traders today....whether their fellow passengers in the LIRR have the virus
People who have returned from China are being monitoring. This is nothing new. It's been going on for several weeks, not only in Nassau County but other locations. And these people aren't displaying any symptoms.
The headline screams about "possible exposure", but the headline doesn't say that the exposure would have been in China several weeks ago. And it doesn't say that there were over 100 additional people who were being monitored, who are no longer being monitored, and who have now been determined to be okay.
Any Wall Street trader worth their salt would know this and not be unnerved.
As someone who takes the terrible awful LIRR every day, the damn thing is like a petri dish.
And for the last few weeks EVERYONE has been hacking and noseblowing. (Including me, I have had a bug for 5 weeks that I cannot get rid of, but it’s in my sinuses).
