Does Covid-19 travel through connecting High Rise Tower / Apartment Exhaust Vents?



One fire?   Exhausts on multiple floors?

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada:

https://blogborgcollective.blogspot.com/2016/12/vancouver-kitchen-exhaust-vent-test.html





6 Vents - 6 Apartments
If the Exhaust fans are connected, and they are in this apartment, then, is the fresh air supply connected in the same way and from a single source?

And just not in Vancouver.

"The Lions" have always practiced social distancing. In light of Covid-19, Metro Vancouver renamed them "2M"

A re-sign of the times.




Most days, the other surrounding geographic features are shrouded in clouds, which, if you maintain your position while looking at 2M, their names will be revealed too.

"Help Keep Parks Open"
"Pass in Single File"
"Keep to the Right"
"Stay 2M Apart"
"Do Your Part"

Stanley park 125 years From Trails to Roads to Trails. Roads now for Cyclists and horses - POLICE


Making Stanley Park car free has been a “tremendous success” in transforming people’s experience of the park, according to the general manager of the Vancouver Park Board.
Malcolm Bromley said Tuesday that the board is learning from its move to limit the seawall to people on foot, move cyclists onto Stanley Park Drive, and ban cars in the park. The change came into effect on April 8.  - Vancouver Sun  Covid-19 speeds up change of access to park

TRAFFIC IN STANLEY PARK

Auto traffic is prohibited between 2:00pm to 5:00pm daily due to concerns of the vehicles frightening horses which "might take flight."  A court decision says that the Park Board has no power to regulate auto traffic in Stanley Park.















































The next step will be shutting down one lane, on the three lane bridge for cyclists, and the sidewalks reserved for Pedestrians instead of having to share the narrow space with cyclists.
