Joe Biden is telling commuters to stay off the subways.
Jonathan is suggesting, reasonably enough, to sit at least three feet away from anyone else on the bus, or every other seat.
Meanwhile, my bus this morning was at at least 200 percent capacity, with people standing two abreast in the aisle—including a troupe of preschoolers, several people with obvious coughs, and a woman who kept blowing her nose into a tissue, which she then used to hold onto the railing.
The bottom line is: Wash, prepare, Purell. But staying away from people can be harder than it sounds.
Wow. Just wow.
Glad I have the option to drive my own car.
that tissue thing is seriously gross.
“But staying away from people can be harder than it sounds.”
Especially when your professed lifestyle is one of dense urban living.
Good luck with that, Erica.
It’s sunny out – why didn’t you walk, bike, or skateboard?
yeah suburbs!
This will be my new commuting look.

i think joe ‘metroliner’ biden told his *family* to stay out of crowded areas. “but that’s just me.”
And that’s why I walked to work this morning, and why I’ll be walking back home.
Not only did I walk to work this morning, I also insisted that my roommate take my car rather than the bus. A little paranoia never hurt anybody.
@7 – Ha! But, what if you have an itch on your nose? I like this one better.
@8: Yes, that’s exactly what Joe said. But it doesn’t fit with Erica’s premise, so she misrepresented it. That’s her style.
advance apologies for the brutal all-caps route i’m about to take, but:
PURELL WILL SURELY KILL US ALL!!!
Ride your bike to work. The weather is improving. You keep those pestilence ridden people at a distance. And you breathe deeply, clearly out your lungs and making them healthy.
Dratted humans… They are just Everywhere!!
>:l
Jonathan just thinks now that he has his degree all peons should stay at least three feet away from him.
