This is a societal changing event... except for America of course. Americans are already relatively anti-social. It's why one of the reasons why Spain and Italy got hit so hard. Just extremely sociable countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexy_shapiro Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 People are crazy about the beach here in Jacksonville. It’s like one of the few things we have going for us. Once I saw it was opening this evening I knew it would be an event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I actually watched the whole press conference from Governor Abbott and I think everything in it is fine on it’s face, but will really come down to execution. @Massdriver rightly noted we do have the “best minds” on it, unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 The daily briefing is pretty good when it's just the doctors and public health experts, and dare I say, Pence up there.

From an article: Quote Mayor Lenny Curry said Duval County beaches were reopening Friday afternoon with restricted hours, and they can only be used for walking, biking, hiking, fishing, running, swimming, taking care of pets and surfing. Lol way to lock that down, Mayor Curry and Governor DeSantis. I guess at least they can't...skateboard? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 http://web.mit.edu/jeffrey/harris/HarrisJE_WP2_COVID19_NYC_13-Apr-2020.pdf This recently published working paper by an MIT Econ prof posits that the NYC subway system played a major role in seeding the city with Covid. Some really interesting data in there suggesting some poor decisions about cutting schedules for the trains before they clamped down on movement with isolation policies.

The big conclusion the paper draws is that the MTA actually kept order density high as ridership declined because they were cutting service. The paper suggests they actually should have increased the amount of trains running to decrease density. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need one point of infection and the whole thing will become infected. Number of trains don't mean shit if the platforms are infected.

Yeah, that's the interesting bottomline: maintaining a higher number of trains running would have resulted in more social distancing within the trains themselves.

Guest Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 But for real, read the paper and you’ll see that the outbreaks were far larger in areas where the density remained highest due to the cuts to service. Not every train ride is equal in propensity to spur outbreaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Essentially the study suggests that the only options are to maintain the trains running at or near their usual operating frequency or shut down the system entirely. Reducing the operating volume only increases rider density and the associated risk of concentrated infections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
