It's a line many New Yorkers know well: "if you cannot fit on this train, there is another right behind."
Many straphangers, having had the wool pulled over their eyes before, aren't keen to take the conductors' advice. Soon, however, they may not have a choice. Police officers will begin enforcing social distancing on subways this week, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday, despite complaints from essential workers that their usual trains have been packed following coronavirus-induced service cuts. "I understand people are trying to get somewhere, but no one should be getting on a crowded train," the mayor told local station NY1. "Spread out throughout the train, wait for the next train. "The PD's going to go out there, if they see any overcrowding, they're going to literally split it up, pull people off the train, move them along to different cars, whatever it takes." On top of service cuts that have been deemed "essential service" for restaurant workers, healthcare professionals and others who must commute during the "New York on Pause" issued by the governor earlier in March, many lines have seen even less service thanks to limited availability of train crews. "We are running as many trains as possible with the crews we have available," the Metropolitan Transit Authority said in service alerts Monday. |

Exhibit A is the fact that most updates on new COVID-19 cases leave out the important context of how many of these new cases are severe/requiring hospitalization. Cases vs. severe cases requiring hospitalization... that is the distinction that needs to be made with every update. |

I don't know what's worse, nails on a chalkboard or hearing Mike Parsons attempt to complete sentences. Jesus Christ...

Apparently a bunch of sailors on the theodore roosevelt have tested positive and the captain is at his wits end because nothing is being done. |

I don't own any gaming systems. I don't think I can play it on my laptop or desktop, either. So here I am playing games and paying for them on my phone like a fool. |

Its obvious NY and highly populated areas are in real danger of being overrun with large numbers. Rest homes and the like are potential super hot spots as well. I just think treating small towns in the midwest the exact same as urban areas doesn't make much sense at all. |
