The paper, by MIT economics professor and physician Jeffrey Harris, claims a parallel between high ridership of the subway system, which packs in up to 5 million passengers a day, “and the rapid, exponential surge in infections” in the first two weeks of March.
“New York City’s multitentacled subway system was a major disseminator — if not the principal transmission vehicle — of coronavirus infection during the initial takeoff of the massive epidemic,” argues Harris, who works as a physician in Massachusetts.
“We know that close contact in subways is fully consistent with the spread of coronavirus, either by inhalable droplets or residual fomites left on railings, pivoted grab handles, and those smooth, metallic, vertical poles that everyone shares,” he added.
City officials questions the study’s data and the interrogation of causation.

Kind of obvious, don't you think?
Duh
Can you believe how stupid are the so-called researchers?
Wow
I feel like a genius
If you haven’t been on the subway in the past 5 years you are not living. It was the most disgusting, rat infested, urine smelling, homeless intoxicated, 104 degree and most dangerous cesspool I have ever seen. Ridiculous and embarrassing. The cop in the glass shattered booth looked more scary then the bloods that pretty much had their own car.
Gosh, did they read a book or watch a movie to figure that out?
No kidding!
The buses are clean.
That moron de Blasio claimed that riding the subway wasn't a problem with coronavirus.
