| outtake vents at our feet every few rows and intake above us to have a flow of air downward and constant--not just shut off when temperature is reached but constant flow an room temperature. Stagnant air is one of the big problems. | |

| I was told once that air circulation usually goes from the back of the stage to the house to help the sound to carry -- once I started looking for it, that seemed to be the pattern, at least in the older houses. There's also usually an emergency venting above the grid, possibly those could be adapted, though it would hurt the sound and draw the audience air up across the stage. Given the height of ceilings, I don't know if there's a ventilation solution for the house comparable to airplanes (like your suggestion) -- my guess is that if the theatres have to somehow operate amid contagion, spacing and tiers will be the order of the day. No more bleachers. Like the State Theatre or the Met, or even some of the smaller LES theatres that have one or two rows of seats per tier. Off-off could just set up chairs appropriately distanced. Perhaps one reason why the groundling-spaces were much cheaper than the tiers in Shakespeare's Globe. ~pcot |

| I think that air circulation just distributes the germs more efficiently from one person to another. | |

| If it moves from mouth to floor, it should not be passing along to others. I was at the opera this spring and a kid threwup on floor just before curtain. they cleaned it and put kitty litter order eater down. But I would get whiffs of it during the show. so that is a dispersion of smell. IF the flow of air was downward to floor and out a vent, I should not smell anything and germs would follow the same path. | |

| A problem with that being that COVID-19, along with god knows what else, is found to travel on shoes. | |

| To inhale is better than on your shoes. | |

| Not saying that. Just saying it all, in the end, doesn't make a difference as it's quickly turning into one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations with this thing. If it travels on shoes - it's going down the street with you. It's going to your home, it's going on your hands as you take your shoes off, it's going with you to restaurants, the store, the theater .... lions, tigers, bears, oh my! |
