Disenfected


I heard Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York, speak on MSNBC

today. He has a plan for disinfecting all mass transit vehicles in and

around New York City due to the COVID-19 pandemic virus. All

vehicles (trains, buses and terminals) will be disinfected every 24-hours.

Imagine all doors, seats, walls hand rails, turnstiles, every conceivable

nook and cranny a hand or sneeze could possibly land. A huge, an

immense, an unbelievably colossal undertaking for a metropolitan

area of some 20-million inhabitants not including the millions of

daily visitors and transients. Granted commuters and other traffic

have been greatly reduced given the shelter in place restrictions,

but still, the Governor said it was not going to be easy. The safely

of people he is responsible for is paramount. My mind was blown

at the magnitude of such a project. I haven’t had my modest studio

apartment mopped, dusted and vacuumed in months. Why hell, at

seventy-three, a shower for me wastes a whole day’s energy. Even

so, I’m still nowhere near being disinfected clean.
