Transit dystopia (plus three murders) ... but that sound you hear is absolute silence from most supposed transit advocates ... the fact that transit can't serve its purpose for essential workers in a crisis shows that NYC is not a resilient city. https://t.co/ZMQQJgH8Wl

don't want to get into the epidemiology that the article is mostly about because the issue is too gnarly and I'm not an expert, but after reading lots of other stuff on same, I see lots of simplification of complexity, even though it's trying to pretend its approach is complex.

Where they are just plain wrong is shrugging off the blame of the two main players as not being fast enough. Cuomo and DeBlasio do not at all share equal blame here. Cuomo and DeBlasio were arguing a lot in early March, Cuomo was taking it very seriously and De Blasio was blocking him on his territory all the way. DeBlasio promoted mass gatherings most enthusiastically in Feb. (including for Chinese New Years's) when Cuomo was lalready discouraging them. De Blasio and his education guy put off closing the schools over and over and over even though Cuomo and parents and teachers was pushing him to do so, until Cuomo demanded. De Blasio held on to holding the St. Pat's day parade down Fifth Ave until like two days before. He put off closing gyms to the last minute so he could go to his.He was in total denial until around St. Pat's day while Cuomo was already heavy duty into planning. Etc.

(Don't believe me, check out Maiello's twitter on same, you can see him getting angrier and angrier about the schools not being closed in NYC.)
