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.
