I heard a duck.
Regarding hotel rooms, I read an interesting article about how covid spreads. It seems that there is a sort of threshold of exposure, where people
need to be indoors, in the same room, with an infected person for a minimum of 15 minutes to get infected. So, things like dinner parties, church
services, indoor weddings and so forth are the culprits. Outdoor activities, not so much. No reason to close the beaches or limit outdoor
activities.
Another route of exposure, apparently, is aerosols that are expelled from the toilet when it is flushed. In either case, it is virus particles
floating around in the air in a confined indoor area that lead to infection. So, my conclusion is the best way to sanitize a hotel room is to put in
a fan, open all the windows and doors, and blow all of the air out of the room for a couple of hours. Then bleach around the toilet, and that should
do the trick. The thing to avoid is moving in to a stuffy room right after the previous guests have vacated. Also, avoid hotels with sealed rooms
that are interconnected with ventilation ducts. I have been in rooms like that in high rise hotels in Vegas, where the windows were sealed shut
because people kept throwing crap out the window into the pool.
