Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah that is pretty common in the New York metro area, unfortunately. Hospitals here already have contingency plans that include refrigerated trucks as well. Really sad to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of their workers are Spanish speaking only, and car pool from Philadelphia and Allentown. Many live in the same house. I’m not surprised they had a huge outbreak.

Schif Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 So I think the thing that is getting completely glossed over and I would love to see more research and thought on it is the fact that population density is a tremendous factor in this and will obviously continue to be an issue with future pathogens. I don't think there is any question that NYC is the hardest hit because it is the most dense part of the country. There isn't any animal on earth, people included, that have any business living literally stacked on top of each other like we do in our biggest cities. At least in my opinion through totally anecdotal reasoning, there must be a critical mass tipping point on a city where we just say "enough is enough" and find a way to curb the growth. Pandemic or not it is a logistical nightmare to keep that many people healthy and fed in such a small area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sad how many dozens of transit workers have died from this in NYC. The buses and subways are about as cramped as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They send you prepackaged meals and you heat them up when they arrive. Trying it out. If it sucks we won't continue it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
