I have another week of stay in place. So I have gone to online shopping. What it seems like is social distancing could put a big dent into mass transit. Stores that are open have a restricted number allowed in at one time and are only allowed to approach the cashier one at a time. Bart is hurting in San Francisco. It looks like Buses, Trains and planes are going to have to reconfigure a lot to get people back.
