Especially rush hour NYC. Usually, I'm packed in with zero personal space for 40 minutes next to no less than 50 people.

If what I had was indeed the CV, this is where I assume I got it from. I wash my hands constantly, have Purell on my desk that I use every time I sit down. I don't talk close to people, and am not a toucher (no high fives, no back slaps, no hugs).

But twice a day, for 40-45 minutes, I'm rubbing and grinding on all kinds of strangers like drunk 19-year olds in Cancun on Spring Break.

The Department of Homeland Security has been briefed that New York City’s morgues are nearing capacity, according to a department official and a second person familiar with the situation.

Officials were told that morgues in the city are expected to reach capacity next week, per the briefing. A third person familiar with the situation in New York said that some of the city’s hospital morgues hit capacity over the last seven days. And a FEMA spokesperson told POLITICO that New York has asked for emergency mortuary assistance. Hawaii and North Carolina have asked for mortuary help as well, and the disaster response agency is currently reviewing the requests, according to the spokesperson.

My brother just lost his beloved father-in-law this past weekend. They have no idea when it will be OK to lay him to rest. Not a Covid-19 tragedy - he'd been diagnosed with mesothelioma about 6 months ago.

Public transit has it's many good things, but nope, I couldn't handle being sandwiched between a bunch of people for that long. Not only am I sort of a germ freak, but I also get claustrophobic. I've been to NYC, Chicago and DC many times and I almost panic everytime I get on the subway. Sometimes I'll just cab it or walk.

It's hard to imagine a more fertile exchange medium than public transit...

One of the analysts I was listening to yesterday spoke to this very point, to support his theory that even after we come out of the other side from this pandemic, enough people will have been sensitized to all that human closeness, to propel Uber into a bright future because then you're only sharing your ride with one Uber, Lyft, etc., driver.

I dont see people going from riding the bus to riding an Uber. That's a huge change in cost per month.
