Dear Editor:
Re: “Making healthy connections,” News Dec.4.
I have just read the caption under the picture of Richmond’s new medical officer of health in which she is quoted as saying that she believes the city’s health may be suffering because of the “the reliance on personal vehicles, as opposed to using public transit.”
Surely she has been misquoted!
How can it be that being jammed cheek by jowl with our coughing and sneezing fellow travellers in public transit it is less likely to lead to upper respiratory tract infections than being alone or with a familiar passenger in a car.
