I realize that some of you consider me to be less of a Jew because I want to keep shuls open and Daven with a minyan. Unlike many of you I can’t stay home and telecommute. I have to be at my desk and in order to do so that I have to take a subway each day there and back. While the Governor may say use less crowded trains you can wait all day until you find an empty train. The trains are still full there is no six feet barrier between riders although it maybe easier to get a seat. So if it is as dangerous as you claim why are the subways which is under the state jurisdiction still running.
I try to daven mincha during lunch time and usually can find a minyan and perhaps the merit of praying with a minyan protects me from the virus but there are those who work in the neighborhood and usually would daven with a minyan but since their rabbi said no davening with a minyan even with masks and gloves and a separation of over 6 feet, they wouldn’t come.
