As long as a passenger outside tries to force his way in, people insideoppose him. But the moment he gets in, all opposition subsides and hebecomes a part of the inner world of the compartment, and at the next sta-tion he begins to shout and scream at other passengers trying to get in.“There is no room here—go to the next compartment! People think theycan walk in!...”
This passage seems to hold some major significance, as it seems to refer to social situations, where people in a country, or group, deny outsiders, but once they're in, all the opposition disappears. Then when someone else tries to get in, they begin to act the same way. In a way this could refer to social hierarchies, countries and xenophobia, or similar topics.

Finally, the doctor who ran the ward arrived. He was extremely kind and very well mannered.
Ironic considering he's taking Giuseppe to the dying first floor.

On the seventh floor, the top floor, only the very mildest cases were treated. Those whose forms of the illness weren’t grave, but who certainly couldn’t be neglected, were assigned to the sixth floor. More serious infections were treated on the fifth floor, and so on and so forth. Gravely ill patients were housed on the second floor; and on the first floor, those for whom all hope had been abandoned
Kind of a hierarchy of treatment in the hospital.

This meant that the doctors were particularly competent and the equipment particularly pertinent and efficient.

He and the grandmother discussed better times. The old lady said that in her opinion Europe was entirely to blame for the way things were now.
Xenophobia and racism coming from the two characters. Putting the blame on others before themselves or their own nation.

“A good man is hard to find,”Red Sammy said. “Everything is getting terrible. I remember the day you could go off and leave your screen door unlatched. Not no more.”

difference in the description between Red Sam and the previous Mr. Teagarden, kinda showing a comparison of then and now between the behavior of the men.

In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady.
The grandmother once again being very overdramatic and precautious. Seems to be a continuation since she brought up The Misfit.
