[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why folks are giving PP a hard time about the hotel room.  Any covid air from the room is getting disbursed by the time it hits someone else, to the point where it won't be infecting someone.  The dose makes the poison, right?  Inhaling 1 molecule of covid doesn't infect someone (their body can fight off that small amount of the infection), but inhaling like 200 does, or whatever.

The mere fact of someone being in a hotel room separate from others staying there, where air vents break up and dispurse the air (and in this case PP had windows open and a HEPA filter etc) -- this isn't a risk factor for other people.  The risk factor is standing close to someone with covid and breathing the same air they breathe for more than a second or two if you don't have a mask on, or for longer if you do have a mask on.

I think the covid deniers just don't really understand the basics re covid transmission so they come out with these weird arguments that don't really make sense.  [/quote]

All good though right?[/quote]

They had the windows open and a HEPA filter going full blast, as they have said multiple times, but go off!

Love this coming from the people who don't mask or stay home when they're sick, but are quick to point at people who do take precautions over the slightest chance of them causing an infection.  Oh did this sick person possibly infect you from across the hallway of the hotel?  Maybe you should be wearing a mask indoors then, guess you never heard that advice, hmm.   [/quote]

You do have a point though that energy efficient hotels that are recirculating air without cleaning it -- as opposed to hotels that are pulling more air from outside -- are going to be more risky in terms of spreading covid I guess.  Something to consider when making reservations.[/quote]
