“I can’t tell you how much it pains me as a government official to have to remind myself that the federal government is not here to help you,” says MTA chief FeinbergSarah. “You are on your own. They don’t care”
It is not the first time in the subway’s 116-year history that the system has ground to a halt. It happened in the wake of September 11 and after natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy. But every night now, in New York City’s new coronavirus reality, all trains are stopped, cleaned, and sanitized between 1 and 5 a.m. The homeless population that has overwhelmed the system, particularly in the wee hours, is cleared out and cleaning crews jump on board with bleach and other disinfectants.
Feinberg, who served in the Obama administration as special assistant to the president and senior adviser to chief of staffduring the H1N1 pandemic, was also dismayed by the federal government’s response to the public health crisis. The CDC’s early guidelines telling Americans that they did not need to wear masks left the 51,000 people she oversees vulnerable to the virus. More than 100 of her employees have died as a result of the coronavirus, and many more have fallen ill.
