Hence my particular interest in the Tokyo result and if it still holds; Japan has - or at least had - aggressive tracing.
Yeah, but absence of evidence can be a pretty good reason for people to not feel terrified as they go through their commute - which is certainly what’s going on for some of the people I talk to (and, er, live with).
Not that I’m happy about crowds being on public transit; I’m very glad I can walk to work, and I was idly wondering how long it’ll be until I’m on the MRT again (over-under is at two weeks, I figure). I think work from home and distance learning should be more aggressively promoted. But commuting on non-packed trains, while definitely a risk, doesn’t seem a giant source of risk.
