Interesting. I think there will be a lot more attention to indoor air quality as people get used to better air (and maybe health), even aside from Covid or other diseases

>>Post Ranch Inn, the exclusive resort that contains Sierra Mar

Well-known in the CA hotel industry. Look at the rates for July. $1700 to $6000 per night. Even without a grant, they pay off a $30,000 air filter investment with just a handful of reservations.

>>6 feet

He arrives at the opposite conclusion from what I was expecting

Quote"I think if you run the numbers, even right now for many types of spaces you'd find that there is not a need for occupancy restrictions."

OKay... this is the conclusion I was expecting RE indoor spaces

QuoteThis is why time spent in the enclosed area is more important than how far you are from the infected person.

This is the part I find weird

QuoteEven with masks on, as with smoking, those who are in the vicinity are heavily affected by the secondhand smoke that makes its way around the enclosed area and lingers. The same logic applies to infectious airborne droplets, according to the study. When indoors and masked, factors besides distance can be more important to consider to avoid transmission.

My experience with smoking is that in small spaces with poor circulation with a lot of smokers, it doesn't matter a lot where you are. There's a big difference between two feet and six, but not between six and sixty. But in a large indoor space with a few smokers and good circulation, distance makes a huge difference.

Think back to the days of smoking and no-smoking sections on airplanes. If were two rows from the smoking section, you were effectively in the smoking section. But if you were 10 rows away, it wasn't really bad.

That whole article struck me as weird but I couldn't put my finger on why.
