Wall Street Journal reporter David Harrison writes that a study by MIT researchers provides evidence that use of public transportation is associated with a higher Covid-19 death rate. The researchers found “a 10% increase in the share of a county’s residents who use public transit versus those who telecommute raised Covid-19 death rates by 1.21 per 1,000 people when looking at counties around the U.S.”
