I
was struck by the tweet you posted under the heading Not Good and found
it provocative. I have no reason to question the stated date and time
of the photo so let’s start with that it is accurate. Why is this
happening? While I have chosen not to take public transportation in
these days I am told that the frequency of trains is way down, so here
is an additional data point to the photo. Lower frequency inevitably
leads to higher density on the trains that do run. One reason for this
crowded train could be some are willfully ignoring the stay at home
policy. Another, to me more plausible, is that these are the people who
have the essential jobs and have to travel. If it is the latter I find
great good in the photo while I also find a fear for those who are
clearly placing themselves at risk here and elsewhere in public. I
wonder if we could then headline the tweet with something like Not Good
for These Good People. -- Jim Coddington
