Thirty-seven deaths among New York City transit workers so far this year as city’s infrastructure continues to crumble
At least 37 active Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) workers in New York City have died so far this year, according to official statistics. While the cause of death is often not specified, there is little doubt most, if not all, are due to COVID-19.
