Maybe, but on the other hand New York has fared tremendously bad. And in Germany the public transport was working, but almost completely empty. Very few were using it, everybody else relied on private cars.
- noirbot 6y agoThat's what I mean though - what are places like Tokyo doing that Berlin isn't in this case? Or is the Tokyo subway as abandoned as NYC's these days?
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoBecause car ownership in much cheaper in Berlin and Germany as a whole than in Tokyo so even if public transport would be safe in Berlin as it is in Tokyo, if people are afraid of exposure, the Berliners have private alternatives while people of Tokyo have to shrug it off on take the subway.
- noirbot 6y agoBut then wouldn't more people in Tokyo be catching the virus because they're taking a train where they're in close poorly-ventilated proximity to a lot of other people? But instead, we're seeing their case load actually stay fairly reasonable compared to NYC or Berlin, where there's more car usage.
