The crazy thing is, they locked down the economy to "save lives" yet they are now pushing people to stop the WFH and come back to the office. And because of that pressure from them, my company started pushing me to come back. And guess what? I recently caught Covid going back to the office! So much for locking down the economy to save lives!
There are pretty key differences in terms of you and almost everyone else having vaccines and there being wide availability of fairly effective drugs like paxlovid. This means that you have a fairly high chance of quick recovery and even if you did have it bad, you're less likely to be in a completely over impacted hospital without enough equipment and goods to treat something en masse since there would presumably be a lot of people in that condition including healthcare workers.
Sucks on not getting to WFH though. I think a good quarter or so of friends I know who can definitely get their work done from home now have at least partial time needed to be spent in the office though enforcement has been pretty lax as far as I've been told.

The agency says it has now seen enough post-pandemic data to know what it needs to do to better serve riders. Starting in June 2023, it will cut service on the 1, 6, 7, L, E, F and Q lines on Mondays and Fridays. It will also start Manhattan-bound A and C express trains earlier during the morning rush.
E train is bad move it always crowded plus you have tourists
1, 6, 7 train is needed
Idk about L, F, Q trains people in far out areas in Queens going be affected by F train.

Both E & F trains (along Queens Blvd) tend to be crowded during the daytime hours (meaning all day long from rush hour to rush hour and in between). I think reducing service on either of those lines is a bad move.

Have they been heavily crowded during Monday and Friday rush hours aside from when delays happen? I think it's reasonable to ask that question, though it's reasonable to ask what the margin of error for MTA passenger counts are.

I know pre-pandemic, those lines were crazy busy. Didn't they have to resort to "subway squashers" (MTA staff squashing people in and using flashlights to signal to the conductors the all clear) at one point?
Don't know if the lines are still busy post-pandemic. The 7 is pretty full but not like how it was pre-pandemic.

I don't care how quick my recovery is.... it's best NOT to contract Covid AT ALL!!

I remember those "subway squashers" every morning rush hour! I haven't taken them during rush hours in this post-pandemic era. But in the off hours that I have taken them they are still pretty full.
Went on the 6 Train, late morning (9am). Rush Express from Parkchester to Hunts Point, but local from Hunts Point to 138. (the entire express line is Parkchester to 138). How much money is being saved by going local from Hunts Point to 138? There was a local train on the local track ahead of the switching express. Due to that, very few people got on the "switching train" at Longwood, 149, 143, Cypress and Brook Ave. What's the point.....?
