Maybe the OP should just hide at home for the rest of your life and be afraid of everything while the rest of us go on with our lives.

Now, had those 9 touched the same table or any other object.


Like a menu or door knob?

So the a/c distributed the droplets to only 1 small area of the restaurant but not the majority? They might want to check out their a/c.

Important! Air conditioners at restaurants in China are NOT like what you would see in restaurants in the US, especially if you move out of Beijing/Shanghai. Very rarely are there true central air systems with filtration. Usually, there is just a corner portable unit with the air flow concentrated around that unit.

Sounds like the Jack Ryan season 1 with Ebola. I think ACs spread it in nursing homes and prisons too.

So let me get this straight:

They found 3 people in 3 different families sick from the Rona

They traced them to a restaurant and tested everyone that was at the restaurant.

They found some dude that was at the restaurant had the Rona but was asymptomatic.

The AC was across the restaurant blew his droplets all over the place infecting 8 or 9 other people.

First of all bullshite. They are not testing a whole restaurant of people. Second the dude did not have Symptoms, which includes coughing. Third, how is his droplets going to travel all the way to the AC across the restaurant when he was apparently seated in the middle of the place?

If the dude was hacking and happened to be seated directly in front of the blowers, I could see this as a plausible theory; however the physics behind this study and hypothesis is horseshite.

Should install UV lights.

A good way to eliminate air borne viruses in the home is UV lights in your HVAC system. So why not restaraunts too?

I have been familiar with UV lights as I use them for underwater purposes and they work extremely well for killing barnacle and oyster larvae settlement.

When we purchased this home two years ago the first thing we did was have UV lights installed.

I know hospitals have used them for over a decade. A few premium dog facilities, do too. Makes perfect sense. HVAC ultraviolet light acts as a cleaning agent of bad microorganisms. Ultra violet light disrupts the DNA and RNA of germs, which, ultimately kills their ability to multiply.

Do you have a dirty sock smell in your home when AC kicks on? That’s classic sign of mold in evaporator coil box. UV lights can help eliminate that too.

Were these scientist or preschoolers doing the research?

Do UV lights kill viruses in particular the CV-19 virus? I don’t think so.

Chinese: Will fudge data to make CCP look good, to the extent of blatantly lying about it.

Also Chinese: Can very easily trace and test a restaurant full of people, WeChat wont lie about where people were.

Seems like more BS from China.

So the guy seated in A1 sneezed/coughed so hard that his/her/"their" droplets fought the AC current and infected two diners seated at Tale C. Somehow the person seated in between infected A4 and A2 did not get infected. Maybe this person was in the crapper at that time.
