Here is a pretty approachable summary of how transmission happens that contains a review of some specific cases where airflow was critical to transmitting the infection: https://erinbromage.wixsite.com/covid19/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them https://erinbromage.wixsite.com/covid19/post/the-risks-know-.... None of these occurred in isolated spaces connected by shared ventilation but I would be cautious about saying flatly that it can't happen.
- Vysero 6y agoI didn't say flatly that it can't happen. I said it can't happen at any appreciable distance. Obviously, if someone sneezes in your mouth your going to get sick.
