Many scientists have discussed what are reasonable or appropriate
ecological and epidemiological models of
covid-191,2,3. Their goal lies in that their models
can be used for accurately predicting covid-19 spread. Of course, the
models are useful, however they should be used in practice for reducing
infection risks. The airflow or ventilation control plays a key role in
alleviating the infectious diseases spread4. The new
research was awarded to reduce infection risks for
covid-195. We should use the latest cleanroom strategy
for reducing infection risks. Instead of blowing air against human
indoor, sucking air against human should be used in ventilation control
for disturbing virus transmission to human6. A
negative pressure room will play a key role in mitigating covid-19
pandemic by controlling the airflow to avoid covid-19 viruses against
human bodies6.
