On the other hand I am concerned about central air conditioning spreading the virus from one apartment/condo to everyone else living in the same building. Even if this air might contain just a tiny amount of the virus, inhaling it for many hours a day, seven days a week could still be hazardous. In general people don't wear face masks at home, so when they cough or sneeze or even simply talk, their droplets could be distributed by the central A/C system.

Good thing Vista is still fairly empty right now. People haven't started moving in yet, correct?

Do you understand HVAC system highrise mechanics and principles?
