It took me a few days to figure it out, but Dr. Deborah Birx's reaction to President Trump's "musing" about possible treatments for COVID-19 reminded me of a moment that all subway riders have experienced. You're just on the train trying to mind your own business when another rider exhibits bad behavior: cursing loud on their cell phone, yelling maniacally about poor train service, or specifically asking you questions about disinfectant. ( "Yeah, you with the big scarf. I'm talking to you." )
Fortunately, Dr. Birx is a savvy woman. Under no circumstances do you make eye contact with this person.
