[Smita Desai]

Thanks Harry, NYT subscription is invaluable.  C-19 articles are not behind pay wall.

This rate is good for a year.  Compare that to the cost of one cup of coffee at almost any coffee shop from Peets or Ride Studio Cafe on down to Dunkin...

Obviously many companies from Zoom, the NYTimes, and the Boston Globe are all using this period of confinement to hook us on using their products.  It remains to be seen how much these rates will increase once things ease up...

>> I referenced this article without the URL a few days ago and received some requests for the actual link.  I do not subscribe to the NYT but was able to get in.  Maybe one gets a few links per month.  In the article you can get the small bubbles in the chart to resolve.  Similarly with the second chart and the details are very interesting.  Nail Salons are at the top right because duration is long (including waiting to be taken) and you are very close to the person working on you.  Gyms are a problem because people are panting which releases far more air particles per minute
