One-third of New York’s small businesses may be gone forever

> Seat belts are mandatory, but not for example on public transportation.

So... that's because public transportation vehicles, like busses, are big. When you smash your small car into a big bus, the bus is fine, and you're a pancake.

On a train, were it to derail, your seatbelt won't help you.

Nothing nefarious going on here.

I agree completely! The point is the policy is not blanket, but modulated based on the particulars of the situation. I expect that we would need equally nuanced (if not much more-so) policy for mask wearing.
