Yup, makes me wonder why Cuomo didn't shut down the subway system (or at least limit use based on some sort of need)? The media's given him props for leadership in his briefings, but ignored this massive sources of infections. Meanwhile, various narratives swirl about why NYC is being hit so much harder than elsewhere, like it's some sort of mystery.
- randallsquared 6y agoI'm not sure that the data bear that out. Manhattan is the best-served borough, but the least infected. Just this week, Cuomo mentioned some surprising findings: essential workers and homeless, who make up most people on the subway, do not make up a significant number of infected showing up at hospitals, but those do who had been sheltering at home (self-reported, I imagine).
- mgleason_3 6y agoNot sure what data you're referring to. The article I saw in early March said that ridership was down over 70% in Manhattan vs only 15-20% in Queens and Brooklyn. Those numbers have now apparently fallen much further, but I've not seen a breakdown by Burrow.
