Common sense. Subways and trains are like being stuck on the cruise ships. Incubators for spreading the virus.
Until they deal with this in NY it's going to be a huge fucking problem for all of us.

What about Japan?
Better sanitation practices. It's a hygiene problem.
Japanese people wear masks when one dude sneezes in a 50 mile radius, and their cleanliness standards are lightyears ahead of MTA
So not a density or public transit problem, got it. Thread closed!
Bzzt. Incorrect
Japan had masks on just about everyone from a long time ago.
Case reopened.
Japanese people wear masks at the drop of a hat. A mask dramatically reduces the amount of infectious droplets in a cough or sneeze.
Japan shut all the schools down in the entire country in early March.
That was the #1 suggestion made by the Imperial College model to suppress contagion.
Whoosh?
Combination of factors. Masks, and school shutdowns lowering the initial spread rate, thus a lower rate overall later.
