Plague: use Hudson Link buses as mobile hospitals.

As mentioned many times here the New York State government boondoggle started in the fall of 2018 has been and continues to be a FAILURE because the Hudson Link buses still usually run through the downtown streets of White Plains with zero passengers. How can the Hudson Link buses be considered essential when non-essential activities are shut down? At least the many regional and corporate buses are taking a break.

The Hudson Link buses are new and BIG, so ...

Use Hudson Link buses as mobile hospitals to combat the plague: coronavirus (COVID-19).

New York City and New York State have the worst record on this plague of any of the 50 states. Some different stuff needs to be tried other than Governor Andrew Cuomo doing his daily imitation of Johnny Fontane: "What can I do? What can I do?" We know the rhetorical answer. Doom and gloom non-stop will seem popular for only so long without some tiny hint of optimism and positive goals.

Maybe Westchester County Executive Latimer and/or White Plains Mayor Roach will bring this to the attention of someone who can act. Maybe. But they've ignored the many posts about the Hudson Link bus fiasco despite having the posts emailed to them as will happen with this one.
