Bro, over the past two weeks, you have made multiple NYC-related posts, and you always post this statement. You can criticize the NYC and NYS governments' actions all you want to (it's useless in my opinion, because hardly anyone would disagree), but the subways are not going to be closed. Have you ever been to NYC?

If the subways are closed how do you expect people that have to be in work to get to work?

If you manipulate the data, you get the outcome you want?

No fricking way.

Good question. But it’s impossible to social distance on a subway, so they have a serious problem on their hands.

What’s the point of social distancing while at work if you catch the virus on your ride in?

So if we are NEVER going to close the mass transit system (subway) that is the most rapid spreading vehicle that a virus will have access to - then we will NEVER contain the virus.

So why are we closing anything at all????

Well, with simple math, we can make take out NY/NJ (and really just NYC greater metro), and voila (that's Walla, in OT terms), transformation complete.

OP is a fair stat, to consider the impact on most people's lives, and the lack of precision of our "solution."

The subway isn’t rapidly spreading the virus right now. It did at the onset. Shutting it down now would just make it impossible for essential workers to commute in.

That study is the epitome of having a conclusion and finding the data you want to back it. The number of new cases shouldn’t flatten out the same day ridership drops drastically. Technically it should continue up for another week or two.

Not many people are taking it now days and it’s running on condensed schedules

This is so very true. Or like, Lincoln Nebraska or Wichita Kansas.

Then they obviously don’t think this virus is that serious.

Build a wall around NYC and abandon the city. It is a shite hole anyway.

Too late now but they should have limited the access points/entries to the subways and only allowed in essential workers --those with hospital photo IDs or essential-business-issued ID.
