I’m just saying that especially in hotspot areas, certain buildings could be infected. Like churches, restaurants, gyms, even grocery stores and offices.

If these places have closed ventilation systems, just walking inside could get you a viral load that you may not survive.

Food for thought.

A bit different than I see it. I don’t see building being infected, but rather the air in the building. And since the virus only survives for 3 or 4 hours in the air and can’t replicate in the air, once the cause of the virons is removed, that mode of transmission ceases several hours later. Now, could the virons also be on surfaces, active and in quantities able to infect most people? I have no clue on that.

The more enclosed the space, the higher the viral load/infection rate.

A CDC official said to the daughter of one of the Diamond Princess cruise ship couples, that it was likely in the air circulating on the ship.
