Mckinky I think you gone to far. Pls fix.

Live in Chicago and honestly this my only fear. I would be fine to go into the office everyday at 100% capacity tomorrow, but I’m not taking the L until I either have had it or there is a vaccine.

“taking the L” is an apt description

Depends on the results of my antibody test. Latest samples show that 20% of symptom free NYCers tested had antibodies. I think I’ve already had it - minor fevers 6 weeks ago. Can’t wait to get out and about again.

Where did you get it done? I’m going to head to a CityMD for one this week. My husband was exposed to someone for weeks, near daily, that likely had it. We think he and I may have lucked out and been asymptomatic back in February. We want to be tested to know if that’s the case. If we have antibodies that would be amazing!

I suspect an entire industry to spring to life to get people cleanly and safely to their offices - just like the fancy services in SF.

Not taking subway until there is a vaccine. Also shelter in place won’t end in May. Phase 1 starts May 15 in NY state and that doesn’t even include NYC. We don’t qualify yet based on hospitalization and new case rates.

I miss the subway but I think it will take more then end of May for most people to ride it comfortably. Ridership will come back but will not be right away - thinking a few months of pandemic decline before subways are back to close to full ridership.

If all our trains were outdoors I would be less worried. But our tunnels make them disease spreaders.

Looks like I’ll be learning to navigate our bus system. 😀

I’ll definitely be driving into NYC and self-park when I absolutely have to be in town.

If I can’t walk anywhere, I am going to be remote

Nyc will just end up being the abandoned city it was destined to be? I can’t think of when I’ll ever go back there.

I have no problem with public transportation. In my view the risk is all very low unless you have underlying conditions.

I took the subway yesterday. It was empty. I wore a mask and didn't sit down.
