With restaurants, stores and even public
pools and beaches now open after months
of being shuttered, some New Yorkers
might wonder whether it's safe to swipe
their Metrocards again and hop on the train
or bus. Interim MTA President Sarah
Feinberg says, "It's time to come back."
In May, the MTA restricted its otherwise
24/7 service and began shutting down
trains from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. [1] so that the
company could completely sanitize each
car.
"We're doing 24/7 cleaning," Feinberg tells
Newsweek. "But, it obviously is helpful for
us to be able to have the system
completely free of all riders in those
overnight hours, [2] in order that we can be
particularly efficient."
In the beginning of March, [3] when the
virus began affecting New York City, MTA
workers were not allowed to wear masks
while on duty - in alignment with the CDC
recommendations at the time. The ban was
then lifted [4] after there was a backlash
from the Transport Workers Union Local
100, the New York Daily News reported.
The MTA reports that 4,110 MTA employees
have tested positive for the virus as of July
29.

Virologist at Columbia University Angela
Rasmussen suggests avoiding public
transportation, if possible, especially if
crowded.
"Any type of public transportation that has
a lot of people crowded together in an
enclosed, poorly ventilated space is an
environment with increased transmission
risk," Rasmussen tells Newsweek. "This
especially applies to packed subway cars
or public buses."
Feinberg says there is not an issue with
ventilation within subway cars; in fact,
MTA's numbers surpass the
recommendation promoted by the CDC. [1]
Though there are no standards for subway
cars, the MTA has adapted the guidelines
for the air exchange rates for health care
facilities. She says that [2] while the
recommendation from the CDC is 10 times
per hour, the subway's numbers are
upwards of 16 or 18 times per hour. "It

doesn't mean we are perfect, we are
always looking for what else we can do,"
Feinberg says."But we are in a pretty good
place there."
The issue of crowding, though, is really up
to the rider, Feinberg adds.
Patience is key, the virologist explains. [3]
If a train pulls up that is too crowded to
allow for appropriate social distancing,
then wait for the next one.

TEXT I
Prologue
Hear me! We have heard of Danish heroes,
Ancient kings and the glory they cut
For themselves, swinging mighty swords!
How Shild made slaves of soldiers from
every land,
Crowds of captives he had beaten
Into terror; he had traveled to Denmark
alone,
An abandoned child, but changed his own
fate,
Lived to be rich and honored.
(RAFFEL, Burton. Beowulf. New York:
Signet Classics, 2008, p.3)

followed by a complement is called a
