Mass transit is good for mass exposure. But let's deal with the latest dog story. Reportedly, Hong Kong authorities grabbed two dogs of a sick virus victim and now claim the dogs somehow tested positive for Covid-19. Are dogs potential carriers? Hong Kong is part of "The People's Republic of China" which just ousted nosey reporters from the NY Times and Washington Post. Can we believe much out of mainland China about Covid-19? Did you notice that the Trump administration has started saying "states" are responsible for dealing with the pandemic and those states are requesting help from the federal government. While there is some truth to their statements, the game may be to blame the states. Next, they will ask whether - perhaps - some people are sayin' - dogs may also be blameworthy. Trump will blame anyone but himself.

VTA buses are one of the safest spaces around...typically nearly nobody there.
