I think the most efficient solution would be to have a series of snorkel lines come down from the ceiling that terminate outside of the building, 6 feet apart.

This would allow the occupants inside to pack as closely as possible without worrying about breathing any hazardous air.

- dr_zoidberg 6y agoJokes aside, couldn high intensity UV lamps be placed inside the HVAC tubes and have that sterilize the shirt out of the air?
- Enginerrrd 6y agoThat's not really the issue although it does matter for some aerosols sizes. It's the flow rate in the room. You need more air exchanges. When someone coughs, how long are those infectious particles floating around the room.
- dr_zoidberg 6y agoGood point. As for coughing/talking/anything that makes droplets I was thinking masks first and then other measures on top of it, like proper ventilation.
