My apartment building has hundreds of apartments, mostly filled with
Asian students.
The building was built in 1950 and it's a very solid building. But
the apartments are all centrally heated by a common forced air heating
system. That means that all hundreds of apartments are breathing the
same air.
Another update from Korea. The government announced today that anyone with a fever or respiratory problems should stay home. This means the medical system has already been overwhelmed. Also, people were told several days ago not to go to the hospital or doctor's office if they believe they have the virus. They were to telephone a number and wait to be picked up. Now they are told to just stay home. Now we are going to die at home? The system has already been overwhelmed.
On the plus side,with most of China's factories shut down the air quality hasn't been this good since the 1990s. Too bad most are too afraid to go outside to enjoy it.
Good luck, everyone.
