ten sick from it in the depot. The anxieties
were very high. We just thought,
‘Listen, we’re going to end up catching
this thing. It’s in the depot, it’s on the
buses.’”
After about fi ve weeks, riders
slowly returned to the buses, but not
without precautions from the MTA.
Passengers were made to enter the bus
through the rear door and fares went
uncollected as the fi rst three rows of
seating were cordoned off to allow distancing
between the public and drivers.
“Even people to this day are running
into catching this. They might
have gone almost a year since this
started, and I know a couple of guys
who just caught it a couple weeks ago.
They went the whole year,” Lizardi
said. “There’s a lot of people I know
who are out of work and I’m one of the
more fortunate people who have not
lost their job during this whole thing.”
Lizardi was still waiting for the opportunity
to get a vaccine, but he took
solace in the importance of his job
keeping New York running.
“Were we scared to do this job? Absolutely.
But either you need to do it or
you need to resign,” Lizardi added.
Both MTA Chairman Pat Foye and
interim NYC Transit President Sarah
Feinberg have reiterated their regret
on withholding masks from their employees
early on the pandemic, saying
they were following the recommendations
of health experts at the time.
online fundraiser that brought in
more than $98,000 to support Dr. Saba,
who she said dedicated almost three
decades to saving lives at hospitals in
some of Brooklyn’s neediest neighborhoods,
starting at Interfaith Medical
Center in Bedford-Stuyvesant 1994, before
moving to Brookdale in 2013.
“Dr Saba is one of the kindest human
beings and an exemplary physician,”
wrote Gandhi on the GoFundMe
page. “We aim to help him and his family
in these hard times through this
platform.”
“I’m overwhelmed, people were
very generous. I didn’t expect it, it’s
very generous and they were very
forthcoming,” Dr. Saba said in response
to the fundraiser.
Despite still struggling to walk
more than a few feet, Dr. Saba said his
health is improving and he hopes to
get back to work. “I want to get back to
some form of normal so I can get back
to work,” he said.
The doctor said he likely got such a
bad case due to heavy exposure to the
virus at the beginning of the outbreak,
and said that nowadays it’s less likely
to get such a bad case due to more pervasive
mask-wearing and social distancing
protocols.
However, he advised that people
still stick to those guidelines to prevent
further spread of COVID-19.
“General advice is primary prevention,
to wear a mask, hand washing,
and also social distancing,” he said.
