In response to the guest column by Jimmy Yeager and Jessica Lischka (\u201cReopening must happen soon or decisions will have to be made,\u201d May 7, The Aspen Times) \u2014 I think their rush to reopen \u2013 to get back to business as usual is risky.<\/p>\n

A CNN reporter, Kenneth Chang, reported in January 2020 about a restaurant in Guanghou, China, \u201c[O]ne diner infected with the novel coronavirus but not yet feeling sick appeared to have spread the disease to nine other people. One of the restaurant\u2019s air-conditioners apparently blew the virus particles around the dining room.\u201d<\/p>\n
