Subways and airplanes are ground zero for new pathogens to circulate. 🤢 😷

Obviously the probabilities are equal. Whoever gets it first during the weekdays passes it on to the other during the weekends. If you’re not meeting up because of this crisis, then you’re not really friends anyway so you wouldn’t care about what happens to the other.

Alright, who has the higher probability of getting it first?

I would say subway. Once you're on a plane people are pretty much static and facing in one direction, whereas on subways you're in a dynamic crowd with multiple people facing towards you. Plus airlines at least pretend to filter air whereas the subway's version of air filtration is a fresh blast of NYC dank damp at every station

Depends. If your friend licks the poles on the MTA, they might end up dead or with 100% immunity.

Both have a 50% chance of getting it. You either get it, or you don't.

Definitely subway? You’re on the plane only twice and planes have great air ventilation

Depends on the model. Most are a combo of air recirculated through hepa filters and fresh air being drawn from outside

Probably subway guy

I take the subway daily.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
