    This doesn’t sound good! It would be much better to have all the kiosks open so people could move fast!!! The kiosks are a few feet apart anyway. Waiting in cramped lines for hours is not good.https://twitter.com/el33th4xor/status/1353485170033258497 …

    Not surprisingly, the rentry lines at @JFKairport are a total disaster, 11 freaking months into a pandemic. Get this: they disabled half the kiosks for "social distancing," which forces people to spend far more time in the serpentine line where there's no social distancing.

        In France they ran a reduced metro service in the spring, inevitably resulting in overcrowding. A little bit of thought goes a long way...

        Not to mention how many would introduce the new variant in. It’s wreaking havoc in UK and now Denmark is struggling.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/uk-variant-covid-denmark/2021/01/22/ddfaf420-5453-11eb-acc5-92d2819a1ccb_story.html …

        CYA and related bureaucracy are powerful forces. Unfortunately, they often run counter to making-the-least-bad choice. The fact that this is effective CYA points toward humans being generally poor at weighing relative risks.

        I would throw in there is just no one in charge giving out the current best information. Stores still have someone up front wiping down carts but how many know they need to upgrade filters? Or how many of us know we should have better masks at this point?

        A TSA agent yelled at me to crowd in to the line and disobey the distancing stickers on the floor. "You're all about to be sitting an inch away from each other on a plane anyway!"
