As my day job contemplates when (if?) we'll ever return to the office, I asked management if anyone is looking at the ventilation systems in offices. I want to know this because I don't know if the Coronavirus can travel via heating/cooling systems via droplets like Legionnaire's disease. It's something to think about! While a lot of us are worrying about dealing with transmission between people, what about transmission via the air we breathe? In an enclosed setting like an airplane or an office, how do we know that air has been filtered enough to prevent us from inhaling spores or whatever that carry the virus? It's just one more thing to think about. You can wash your hands diligently, wear your face mask, stay six feet (or more) away from others, but you have to breathe and when you're inside a building, you breathe in that building's air.
This has nothing to do with airflow, but if clothing stores reopen, will people still be allowed to try on clothing? Do you want to try on a pair of pants or a shirt not knowing how many people have tried these items on before? (That's always a risk, but now it's an even greater risk.) And, what if you take the item home, wash it, try it on, and realize it doesn't fit, what then? Will the store take it back? Highly unlikely! So many things to think about and all of them are bad!
RIP, Jerry Stiller. Serenity now! Insanity later!
