I work for the NY subway. Our agency has about 25,000 workers and close to 7,000 of them have caught the virus. Every day in my Facebook feed I see a RIP post and it seriously depresses me.
Personally I believe that "herd immunity" is unproven. I hope that it really exists, but I’ve read how people in South Korea have become re-infected for a second time so who know if it really does exist? It is hard to tell because even the authorities don’t really know for sure. I am just hoping that I don’t endanger my life simply by going to work. |
That is crazy, I work in downtown NYC and my colleagues have been talking about when we will go back to work (we are telecommuting now) and we all agree the subways there is just no way to social distance. May 18th looks like the next possible day we could go back to "normal" but I could see it being longer than that for the city. Sorry to hear about all the losses. my father worked for the TA in East NY and 207th Street.
