FYI, here's an interesting letter from China published by the CDC related to this morning's discussion of best practices for Covid control in labs.

COVID-19 Outbreak Associated with Air Conditioning in Restaurant, Guangzhou, China, 2020
Abstract
During January 26รข??February 10, 2020, an outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus disease in an air-conditioned restaurant in Guangzhou, China, involved 3 family clusters. The airflow direction was consistent with droplet transmission. To prevent the spread of the virus in restaurants, we recommend increasing the distance between tables and improving ventilation.
