Report by our Re-Opening Task Force
Platform of Aug 2, 2020
We had an outstanding Platform this morning covering all the complicated and frankly quite scary issues surrounding going back to live, in-person events at our Meetinghouse. Society President Susan Lesh opened with a short overview and then we opened it up to questions where we covered everything, including:
- Modes of transmission
- Aerosols & Droplets
- Do temperature checks help?
- Does sanitizing surfaces give us a false sense of security
- Indoor vs. Outdoor meetings?
- Is 6 feet of separation enough?
- What about HVAC systems (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)? Can they clean the air?
- Can we use UV light to "sterilize" the room?
- What would a hybrid Zoom + In-Person Platform look like and what would it cost?
