New York subway train cutback helped spread coronavirus: MIT study

EXCERPT Conservative radio host Mark Levin cited a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Saturday concluding that the decision to cut back on subway trains forced more people on fewer trains and contributed to the coronavirus spread.

“MIT study and analysis: New York’s decision to cutback on subway trains and public buses crowded more people onto fewer subway cars and buses creating the pandemic’s ground zero in the city,” Levin tweeted Saturday.

“New York City’s multitentacled subway system was a major disseminator — if not the principal transmission vehicle — of coronavirus infection during the initial takeoff of the massive epidemic that became evident throughout the city during March 2020,” the abstract of the study stated.
